EXPRESS: A Spoonful of Sugar: Restorative Practices in the Classroom

This 3-credit, 2-month course is entirely self-paced and can be taken anytime between August 19, 2024 - August 20, 2025.

At a Glance

This is a 3-credit Iowa license renewal course that will show educators why punitive practices are ineffective, lead to disaffected and underachieving students and play a role in the school-to-prison-pipeline. Participants will learn how to implement restorative practices from communication techniques and structures and supports to peacebuilding and peacemaking strategies in order to establish classrooms built on collective respect developing students with the tools and understanding to self-regulate and self-manage. It’s all about sugar and little about vinegar.
