About this user

With affiliates and licensees around the world, the IIRP has provided restorative practices training to tens of thousands of professionals in education, criminal justice and social and human services. As the sponsor of interdisciplinary international conferences, the IIRP brings together practitioners, researchers and policy-makers from around the globe to exchange their ideas and experiences in restorative practices.

The roots of the IIRP reach back to 1977, when Pennsylvania educators Ted and Susan Wachtel opened the first Community Service Foundation school for delinquent and at-risk youth. Since then, the Community Service Foundation and its sister organization, Buxmont Academy, have grown to encompass eight alternative schools, 16 foster homes and other services for young people and their families. All CSF Buxmont programs employ restorative practices, which provide both high control and high support at the same time.

The restorative practices philosophy holds that human beings are happier, more productive and cooperative, and more likely to make positive changes in their behavior when those in positions of authority do things WITH them, rather than TO them or FOR them. Research has shown that the use of restorative practices in CSF Buxmont programs produces remarkable results, lowering offending rates and improving youth attitudes. CSF and Buxmont founded the International Institute for Restorative Practices in 2000 to consolidate their restorative practices education and research activities and to distinguish those efforts from their direct service programs for youth and families. In addition to its graduate education programs, the IIRP offers four restorative practices non-graduate credit training and consulting programs: Real Justice, SaferSanerSchools, Family Power and Good Company. By training educators in restorative practices, the IIRP has helped reduce disciplinary incidents and create safer and more cooperative school climates.

With the Pennsylvania Department of Education's authorization in June 2006, the International Institute for Restorative Practices became the world's first graduate school wholly dedicated to the emerging social science of restorative practices. The IIRP's faculty of experienced practitioners and researchers provide graduate students with a useful and thorough understanding of restorative practices. We welcome you to join us.
