This year’s learning initiative will explore the research, theory and pedagogy of restorative justice across P–16 educational settings, offering timely approaches to strengthening relationships, deepening connections, repairing harm and creating learning environments built on trust and accountability. The series highlights evidence-based practices that support holistic teaching, relational pedagogy and restorative learning environments across educational disciplines.

Presenters will introduce and explore tools that move beyond punitive models toward practices that repair harm, build community, and support student development. This focus supports the College of Education’s mission to prepare thoughtful, responsive educators and leaders.
