Circle Speak has been pivotal in the development of restorative practices in schools as a cultural change initiative.
Peta Blood in conjunction with Margaret Thorsborne (Margaret Thorsborne and Associates, Qld.) have co-written a number of papers on how to embed restorative practices in schools and how to take this to a whole school level. This is based on their respective work in schools around the world to build an understanding that restorative practices is about cultural change in schools.
Our work is designed to assist schools in this effort, whether they be part way along this journey or starting from scratch. Peta has worked with and directly advised schools in Australia, the UK, USA, Guam and Singapore and helped to inform practice throughout the world.
Whilst Peta has a background in policing, she has worked in schools and taught at a tertiary & higher education level, after entering teaching to work with youth at risk. She understands what it is like to work with challenging students and classes and regularly puts these skills to practice when she is called into trouble shoot disruptive classes. Peta also works with students, facilitating a range of social skills programs for students of all ages whilst training teachers to do this.
Circle Speak has a range of trainings and workshops to meet the needs of schools. These are consistently rated as among the best PD sessions attended by educators and school leaders. Every training and workshop is tailored to meet the needs of the group we are working with.
