RESTORATIVE PRACTICES
Brought to Stratford by your Kahui Ako. Marg spent 3 days with educators coaching them to use restorative practice in all areas of their work and relationships. Working for the wellbeing of all our kaiako and tamariki…..”The best PD we’ve ever had!”

When harm is done (by us or others to us), reconnecting is only possible when we are a) willing to communicate with the other b) honest about what happened (no blame or excuses) and how it has affected us and finally c) being willing to express our vulnerable feelings about what happened.
Marg is a passionate advocate for healthy relationships, conflict resolution, restorative justice and relational leadership. With a long history first as a teacher and counsellor, and now as a consultant, she works tirelessly to help school communities and organisations understand what emotional health and wellbeing looks like, sounds like and feels like.
She is widely recognised as an international pioneer and expert on school & workplace bullying, and has played a major role in the introduction of restorative practices into schools and workplaces in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, USA, Canada and UK.
If you are a little school and would find it hard to cover the 3 days leave then talk with us about what the bigger schools could offer to support you
