SPECIAL EVENT The IIRP's SaferSanerSchools Program is a cost
effective way to achieve lasting whole-school change that builds
relationships between students, staff and parents, improves student
behavior, reduces violence and bullying and creates a sense of
community. The SaferSanerSchools Program (unlike piecemeal efforts
lacking an explicit focus), provides a clear, comprehensive two-year
implementation strategy that involves 100% staff participation from day
one. Since 1999, IIRP's SaferSanerSchools program has helped even
some of the most challenging schools transform their school climate and
culture, reduce behavior problems and improve the instructional
environment.
Distinct from our trainings, which provide
participants with information and skills they can use the next day, the
One-Day Conference is designed for decision-makers to learn about
restorative practices and determine whether they want to bring it to
their school or district.
