Join us for an interactive presentation about how accountability and forgiveness are skill sets that can be strengthened in our students and ourselves.

In this community meeting, we welcome Lauren Trout, Senior Program Associate with WestEd’s Resilient and Healthy Schools and Communities team, whose work centers on reimagining education as a space for justice, belonging, and collective care. Facilitated by Amy L. Eva, Ph.D., Associate Director of Education at the Greater Good Science Center, this gathering invites us to explore how accountability and forgiveness can help us move beyond blame to foster healing, repair, and stronger relationships in schools and communities.

Together, we will:

• Explore the intersections of forgiveness and accountability through a restorative lens
• Identify the conditions that make meaningful accountability possible
• Introduce practical skills that support accountability while cultivating forgiveness and repair

In moments when conflict and hurt feel all too present, this session offers tools for navigating accountability in ways that are constructive, courageous, and restorative. Made for educators and open to all, attendees will walk away with concrete strategies to help individuals and communities transform conflict into connection and growth.
