What are the components of a transformative training? The answer to this question lives in the room as ToT participants collectively brainstorm the needs of their school leaders and troubleshoot potential obstacles to effective turnkey training. Through a series of role-playing activities, each member of the ToT group will teach a component of the restorative justice continuum of school-based practices in a workshop model that incorporates circle practice. This day is framed within a horizontal learning model, relying on the support and feedback of the participants to problem-solve and hone each trainer’s particular skill set.
