Beloved Community and Educational Environments (CR, FCE, CCB)
This workshop is designed to explore how our school culture addresses issues of violence, academic underperformance, misbehavior, and attendance. Traditional systems of punitive discipline and correction harm, instead of help, the student body, which is already impacted by societal inequities. Participants will learn how implementing nonviolence programs supported by an evidence-based, youth-positive mindset can create protocols and conditions conducive to healing for students, and thriving school communities.
Presenters: Shane Lee and Keith Morton
