About
Kathleen is the co-author of The Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools (2020) and The Little Book of Restorative Teaching Tools for Online Learning (2024). She is an Adjunct Professor at Vermont Law and Graduate School's Master in Restorative Justice program, and has designed online modules for their Restorative Justice Badge course for public education.
The KMA team is dedicated to delivering restorative services that align with restorative values. We prioritize experiential learning that centers authenticity, compassion, curiosity, and fun.
1) Coaching for Restorative Justice Practitioners
- One on one mentorship to support RJ practitioners working in communities, criminal legal setting, and schools
- Specialized support in designing trainings, building relationship with community partners, developing mentorship structure with your program's facilitators
- Leadership coaching and support with decision-making and change management
- Interactive, experiential-learning approaches
2) Training and Facilitation to Build Restorative Workplace Culture
Empower teams to:
- Increase accountability with each other and the organization's values
- Voice and listen to differing ideas and feedback
- Develop skills to address conflict
- Participate in a culture that builds confidence
- Cultivate internal leadership through train-the-trainer methodology
3) Conflict Facilitation for Individuals, Communities, Organizations
Every group or team can be seen as a micro-community that inevitably experiences conflict.
Instead of losing time dancing around the issue, relying on policy to correct behavior, or resorting to "canceling" someone, we can support you with a facilitated participatory process that will return agency to the individuals involved as they discover and co-create solutions.
Through facilitated dialogue emphasizing accountability and active commitments to change behavior, our facilitators will get to the root of your team’s challenges. Participants will reflect on their own behavior, consider its impacts on others, and gain insight on how to communicate in difficult conversations.
