What new tools exist that align with PBIS and a restorative approach? In this session, educators will explore the significant ways in which social emotional learning and restorative practices work in tandem to support the foundations for a safe, healthy, and positive school culture across diverse student populations. Participants can expect an introduction to two newly introduced SEL tools.
Tool One: The Peace Path. With five easy to implement steps, teach the language of conflict resolution to students K-12. With regular exposure and repeated practice, students begin to resolve conflicts independently whether in the classroom, cafeteria, playground or hallway.
Tool Two: The 20-Minute Workout. Looking for ways to reduce the amount of time it takes to serve our most challenging students?  Try this
a strength-based student support protocol. Historically, leaders and teachers spend hundreds of hours working with challenging students and behaviors such that, some question the investment: time spent with a few takes away from the rest. Learn how to overcome this and implement a time- specific strength-based student support protocol so that student support meetings are effective, efficient and are conducted in 20 minutes or less. Invest in students who need the most from us with a tool that is manageable, structured, and supportive.

Charter schools are constantly forced to deal with issues involving students that extend far beyond the classroom. Parents fighting over custody of the child, court orders that split time sharing of a student between parents, restraining orders limiting contact or communication between students/staff/parents; police investigations involving students/staff; DCF investigations involving accusations of child abuse/neglect; subpoenas and records request from outside agencies seeking documents of students or testimony of staff members; these are all extremely common and often troubling situations that schools find themselves forced to deal with. Understanding the basics of these areas of the law and how they can affect our campuses will provide school administration and staff with a solid foundation on how to address these issues as they arise.
