This session equips educators with actionable strategies to collaborate with school leaders in catalyzing restorative practices. Drawing from the experience of a former assistant superintendent and the personal transformation of a former superintendent, participants will learn how to navigate leadership dynamics, foster mutual understanding, and advocate for systemic change. Attendees will explore methods to bridge the gap between policy and practice, influence leadership mindsets, and leverage data to build a shared vision for restorative schools that prioritize equity and accountability.
