I was given the opportunity to go on a PB4L Restorative Practice Workshop on Restorative Conferences: Mini Conferences. It was an extremely useful workshop and refresher for restorative practices. We held mini chats and practiced facilitating restoratives. We were given an extremely useful resource: a restorative conference card:
We got a chance to think about a genuine situation we have been in recently with a student where we have held a restorative conference and go through the motions using this card. I keep this in my bag now and used it for a restorative the other day. I think the best thing I took away from the day was that it is okay to use this card openly and tell the participants you are going to use it and it sort of keeps everyone safe and makes the structure of the restorative clear for all.
