S1 Episode 3: Restorative Practice
Let’s talk about the importance of building strong relationships in education. First, Mary and Angelia share their best tactics for making classrooms like a second home for learners. Next, they interview Dr. Dominique Smith, a leading expert on the topic of restorative practice. Together, the three discuss what it means to make relationships a top priority, in order to enhance efficacy and student success. Mark your calendar now for the Thirteenth Annual Teacher Leadership on June 19-21 in Tucson, when Dr. Smith will return to further teach us how to create equitable conditions for sustainable change. Tune in next week when our hosts talk with Chris Kotterman about school culture and letter grades.
Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
