Changing the Conversation: A Restorative Approach
Stuck in the same old discipline conversation? Need a new
approach to connect with students? Explore an innovative process for difficult conversations that is grounded in neuroscience. It integrates mindfulness, restorative language, and brain-based strategies to build connection, foster resilience, and empower youth. Our goal is to provide a process to all educators to help them shift students locus of control from extrinsic to intrinsic and to guide the development of SEL skills.
