Embracing Restorative Justice for a Just and Equitable Education Experience w/ Kathy Evans (Restorative Re-Air)

This Restorative Justice Life

How do we create meaningful learning opportunities and foster a sense of belonging in the classroom? Join us as we dive into the inspiring world of restorative justice with our guest Kathy Evans, a passionate educator and advocate for creating just and equitable learning environments. In our conversation, we delve into Kathy's personal journey of discovering restorative justice and its transformative power in education.
Together, we discuss the importance of building strong relationships in the classroom, and how to strike the delicate balance between urgency and rest to prevent teacher burnout. We also share insights from leading experts and authors in the field of restorative justice and education, such as Myisha Wynn, Christina Parker, Deborah Delpit, and Sonya Nieto. Kathy reflects on her own experiences with applying restorative justice to her personal life, including navigating her intersectional identity and maintaining meaningful connections with her family.
As we explore the challenges and rewards of implementing restorative justice in schools, we touch upon the need to dismantle whiteness in the field and form meaningful partnerships with diverse leaders. Through our discussion, we hope to inspire educators and listeners alike to embrace the potential of restorative justice in fostering a more inclusive, just, and equitable world for all. Join us on this fascinating journey and discover how restorative justice can transform the way we teach, learn, and connect with one another.
