The International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP) delivers this two-day 'Restorative Practices for Educators' training in San Diego, California, providing an intensive introductory experience where educators learn the fundamental theory and practices for engaging with students, staff, and parents in school settings. IIRP is a globally recognised graduate school that has advanced the field of restorative practices through research, professional development, and master's-level education. The San Diego training covers the importance of being explicit about practice, how to set high expectations while being genuinely supportive, and practical ways to build community within school settings. IIRP's approach has been validated by schools like Health Sciences High and Middle College in San Diego, which implemented restorative practices school-wide with significant results. Beyond this introductory training, IIRP offers Training of Trainers programmes for experienced practitioners who want to deliver IIRP modules to their own colleagues, whole-school change programmes, and continuing education pathways—creating a comprehensive ecosystem for schools committed to embedding restorative practices at every level of their community.
