Turning Chaos into Calm
Feeling overwhelmed by challenging student behaviors and emotional needs? Learn how one elementary school took action by developing a Restorative Center- a dedicated space for students to develop the social-emotional skills they need to be successful in school and beyond. After describing our journey, including our challenges and successes, we will provide attendees with the opportunity and structure to think through how they might design and implement a Restorative Center that meets the needs of their students, using the resources they have available.
This talk was presented at:
