Is your trauma-informed school ready to learn the language for healthier, cooperative, and more productive relationships?

Let’s face it, the last 18 months have been a hot mess for teachers. It’s been incredibly difficult to navigate. We know that trauma-informed practices are needed now more than ever to help shift our engagement with one another — but how to make these practices work is the question. Learning how to communicate differently is the answer.

How to Start Restorative Communication in Trauma-Informed Schools

After nearly 30 years in education, it comes down to this - communication.

I started my teaching career bright eyed and bushy-tailed. I was ready to change the world. I wanted to help challenge the status quo and the systemic inequities in the public school system. And then I got my first teaching job in the U.S. Yikes.

Over the next 20 years, as I held various roles in public education, I found many well-intentioned educators and I encountered many students who were excited to learn. I also found many students who were frustrated, disengaged and sad as a result of trying to navigate a dysfunctional education system. I found pockets of hope and innovation, but not enough to satisfy me. So I went back to school for my doctorate to learn how organizations can change - really change.

I studied organizational psychology, systems thinking, design thinking, agency, self-organizing systems – and I ultimately realized that all of the initiatives in the world could not change how we work. I realized that how we interact with each other at the most basic level sets the stage for the success of initiatives. 

It was then I started reading about communication and how people talk to each other. I began studying conflict and learned about the ladder of inference. I reflected with colleagues on the language we use at work. When we talked about conflict, I noticed how most recoiled at the word. “Ick!” they said..“I don’t do conflict at work! I avoid all that drama.”

What I realized is that the more people tried to avoid conflict:
  • fewer issues got resolved
  • fewer goals were achieved
  • the less satisfied people felt in their jobs
  • the less they enjoyed their working relationships
  • the more frustration students and adults experienced

So, I thought…what if there was a way to help people be more comfortable with conflict? 

What if educators felt like they had the tools to communicate in a healthy way when they were upset? Or when they noticed someone else was upset? What if educators could use healthy communication with students who were struggling with their behavior? Or with irate parents? 



Restorative practices are being incorporated more and more often. Schools could be a wonderful place if we could all say what we felt and needed in a healthy way. Enter Nonviolent Communication (NVC), an approach to communication developed by Marshall Rosenberg. 

I began an avid study of NVC, reading everything I could, practicing the techniques, watching videos and documentaries, practicing the techniques, attending workshops, and practicing some more. I visited a school in Sweden that uses NVC. I attended lots of trainings. I got feedback about my language skills.

So after nearly 30 years in education, I realized that it comes down to this: helping educators learn these restorative communication skills is the necessary first step in order for students and adults in trauma-informed schools to prosper.
I’ve taken all I have learned about NVC and organized it into a course that uses relatable, effective strategies that increase awareness and nurture students’ and adults’ innate desire for calm while feeling heard, understood and supported.

What is Restorative Communication?

Drawing from the highly effective Nonviolent Communication method, restorative communication demonstrates how to increase awareness of yourself and others, identify feelings as they relate to behavior and needs, and employ practices that lead to positive outcomes. It works hand in hand with restorative practices, such as Talking Circles.

When modelled in the classroom, restorative communication empowers students to learn from their actions, to understand their impact, and to grow personally in their ability to make more sound decisions and resolve problems.
  • Resolve conflicts and disagreements in a respectful and cooperative manner.
  • Take responsibility for one’s feelings and behavior.
  • Intentionally engage in acts of kindness, forgiveness and support of others.

Relationships are key.

  • We know that relationships have a profound impact on the quality of our professional and personal lives.
  • We know that communication is the key to building and maintaining quality relationships.
  • Despite that knowledge, only a few of us invest the minimal time it takes to learn how to use restorative communication skills.

The most effective school implementation of restorative communication begins with a single teacher experiencing it and then practicing it during routine classroom instruction.

"When we focus on clarifying what is being observed, felt and needed rather than on diagnosing and judging, we discover the depth of our own compassion."

When you engage in difficult conversations at school, wouldn’t you love to feel more content when you communicate with other people, rather than walking away frustrated or angry? This course can help you achieve that goal.

When you learn exactly how to communicate with your administrators and colleagues — as well as your students and their parents in a way that shows you value YOUR well-being as much as you value theirs...

You’ll maintain the structure and control you need to be an even more effective teacher for your students, a better team player for your school, and a fulfilled and happy teacher for YOU.

I can’t wait to show you how.

Free Workbook - How to Start Restorative Communication

"This course has been a game changer in how I think about communicating with others, especially those situations that challenge my patience. As a teacher, in order to facilitate a successful learning experience for each student, I need to communicate and collaborating with many individuals.  In my experience communication challenges or failures get in the way, causing a divide or damaging a relationship. Engaging in this course has been eye-opening and has helped me not only understand feasible changes I can make in my own interactions with others, but ways I can encourage others to use nonviolent communication for a more peaceful, problem solving experience together.

You give your all to your students and your job — isn’t it time you invested in yourself? 

Being a teacher can be joyful, rewarding, and inspiring…

But it can also be stressful, exhausting, and overwhelming.

Let’s face it: a stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed teacher is far less impactful than they can be. Not only do their students suffer because of their overwhelm, but so do their schools and their own families, too. 

Luckily, it doesn’t have to be that way — and it all starts with effective communication.

When you know how to have healthy and productive conversations, you’ll feel much of your overwhelm release. You’ll not only be an advocate for your students, but you’ll have your own back, too — and can stand up for yourself powerfully and respectively in any conversation.

You’ll set new boundaries for yourself, build new partnerships and allies with the people in your school community, and feel your energy for teaching renew and increase.

Because you’ll know exactly how to hold yourself up strong, you’ll be far more equipped to hold your students, parents, and colleagues up strong, too.

All you have to do is start.
