Three workshops this fall will offer the chance to learn about restorative practices, a method of improving classroom learning environments and creating safer schools.

The one-day professional development workshops will be offered at the School District’s Education Center at 440 N. Broad St. from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on three Saturdays: Oct. 18, Nov. 8, and Dec. 20. The workshops are free to parents, students, Philadelphia residents, and staff of community organizations who live in Philly.

Restorative practices are being introduced to several District schools, thanks to a grant by the Philadelphia Foundation.

To sign up for a free workshop, email Kendra Brooks or call 267-213-2616.
