Restorative Justice

Loading player...
As schools work to build communities of belonging, they need to start asking the question: Whose norms are we practicing?

In this episode of PEP Talks: Podcast on Educational Possibilities, host Olivia Haas, Director of Strategic Communications & Media at NCGS, investigates restorative justice in the face of traditional school constructs. She also looks at the role of schools in adjusting existing systems to meet students and families where they’re at—rather than the other way around.

Olivia is joined by featured guests and girls’ school educators, Jadi Taveras Head of School at Esperanza Academy in Lawrence, Massachusetts, located about 40 minutes north of Boston; and Maura Farrell, Head of School at Sophia Academy in Providence, Rhode Island.

If you’re looking for insight into the world of girls’ education, anti-racism in school communities and the role that leaders play in bringing about change, then this podcast is for you.
