Restorative Justice/Practices and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
Please join MEMSPA & Michigan ASCD for a 7 hour virtual deep dive into Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Restorative Justice/Practices:
Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: In order to impact our students in the most powerful and relevant way, we must be responsive to their upbringing and individual identities. Within this module, we dissect not only WHAT we teach, but HOW we teach. This strand of instruction and support embodies work from Teaching Tolerance (a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center). We will work to identify the four domains of the anti-bias framework, as well as dig deeper into Critical Practices for Anti-Bias Education.
Restorative Justice/Practices: Starting in the judicial system as a way to focus on the relationship between people rather than the harm done, educational systems have transformed this work into relevant practices. Restorative Practices focus on the proactive components (to prevent discipline issues) while Restorative Justice focuses on the reactive components (to repair the relationship once the harm is already done). This strand of instruction focuses on the work and methodologies from the International Institute of Restorative Practices (IIRP).
Topics for the day will include:
- Defining Restorative Work
- Paradigm Shift from Traditional to Restorative
- Restorative Foundational Work
- Restorative Continuum
- Stakeholder Involvement
- Crafting a Restorative Plan of Action
