Summary
In this episode, Shali sits down with Nicholas Bradford, restorative justice expert and founder of the National Center for Restorative Justice, for an honest and nuanced conversation about discipline in schools. Where do restorative practices truly transform school culture — and where are there tensions or unanswered questions? Together, they explore: • The difference between punishment and accountability • The impact of compliance-driven environments on children • What “repairing harm” really looks like • How strong-willed children are often misunderstood • Where restorative justice succeeds — and where implementation gets complicated • Practical tools parents and educators can use immediately Get in touch with Nicholas and his team: Website: nationalcenterforrestorativejustice.com Nicholas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradfordnicholas/ Network: https://nc4rj-network.mn.co/share/dqvuwroCsNuCKex7?utm_source=manual K3 Homeschool Foundations Resources: Science of Reading Simplified Ecourse 5 Foundations of Reading Ecourse Skill-Based Literacy Curriculum (start here if you're not sure which level to choose) Level 1: Letters and Sounds (Parent Led) Level 1: The Letter Mysteries (Video Led) Level 2: Beginning Reader Level 3: The Sound and Spelling Guide Get the first 2 letter lessons for FREE Get the first 5 Reading Lessons for FREE Your Guide to Teach High-Frequency Words Get the first 10 lessons to teach high-frequency words for FREE The Literacy Clarity Plan- Work one on one with me to create a detailed literacy plan made for YOUR child FREE Literacy for Littles Ebook
