In this episode, I speak on how Restorative Justice can play a role in the return back to schools. I start with a little narrative about myself, speak a great deal about current issues and finish with the implications for Restorative Justice. I am very vocal in this podcast and do not mince words. Maybe my New York hard edge needed to come out after staying in quarantine or being hit with some heavy emotions. I think this morning's new about violence in the streets and stray bullets has spurred off a need to get to the core of anti-violence. I believe teachers can make the difference.
A thought:
Start by visualizing someone you admire very much. Keep that vision in your head and ask what would he or she do? What would he or she say to me?
Again, I hope that you have a smooth transition back. But now we need to visualize how to change classroom dynamics because the work is now - before school starts.
