About the Circle Up DC Summit
Don’t miss this chance to join the conversation and connect with other educators and community partners who share your commitment to rebuilding, reconnecting, and restoring D.C. schools!
Join us for a powerful day of in-person community building, reflection, and restorative justice at the Circle UP DC Summit. The Summit is designed for school leaders, educators, student support staff, community partners, youth, and families who are committed to building resilient school cultures, addressing violence, and sustaining social-emotional learning.
We will demonstrate the power of restorative circles, create a peer-learning space, and connect educators and community partners with resources to support implementing restorative justice in their schools. Through reflection and visioning, we will explore what is happening on the ground for educators, students, and families and identify needs for the upcoming school year.
Restorative Justice Innovators Award
We are excited to present the Restorative Justice Innovators Award to three individuals working in public and public charter schools in the District for the 2022-23 school year! We ask schools to nominate individuals in their schools who have demonstrated a commitment to restorative justice and practices in their community. The awards will be presented at the Circle Up Summit on June 9, 2023.
As you think over the past school year and complete the nominee information, consider how your nominee has demonstrated a commitment to implementing restorative practices in your schools in line with the following principals:
- Creating a Just & Equitable Learning Environment
