The Art of Relational School Culture - with Wellbeing Bi Cineálta (Principals & Deputies)

RP - Beyond a ‘Train & Hope’ model...towards school culture, planning & development

Restorative Practice, when done with consistency and intention, has proven to be key to improving student-teacher relationships, accelerating engagement, and building a respectful culture that enhances effective teaching and learning ... and as Michelle's own research shows, it is a highly effective way to address and reduce teacher stress too!
