Education
Do schools need a full time person in care of this work or are they best supported through a coaching model? This episode is a little geeky as we talk specifically about implementation within a school with veteran practitioner, Joseph Luciani, who served as one of the initial RJ Coordinators within the Los Angeles Unified School District. Joseph served for five years in this capacity in a school that utilized Restorative Practices from its founding. He talks about the first two years of implementation and funding. Then he and Gilbert talk about where harm Circles fit in implementation and how trainings have evolved to respond to adults learning needs in challenging resistance and supporting paradigm shifts. They end the conversation sharing how Restorative Practices have influenced their relationships.
