Mr. Ramsdell from Portland ME is requesting professional development through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Professional development

Restorative Justice Education

I need this training to learn how to better respond to minor to major misbehavior problems in the classroom.

  • $1,170 goal

My Project

I am currently pursuing a certificate in Restorative Practices through the International Institute of Restorative Practices. The course that I would like to take next will help me to find and organize current research.

I am requesting tuition for an upcoming online course on Research Practices.

My ultimate goal is to learn new ways to support social emotional learning in the classroom.

COVID has affected students in so many ways. Many of them are feeling disconnected from school and from each other. It has become imperative that I help students learn how to ask for help and how to deal with stress.

Grades 3-5
  • Lincoln Middle School
  • Portland, ME
    • More than a third of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 14 students.
