Restorative Justice was started in Oakland Unified School District by David Yusem. Restorative Justice is seen as “Harm” which is seen as “fracturing a relationship” where punishment is not demanded. To have Restorative Justice, this is seen as a way to help seek ways to find the true needs while helping to seek out a way to help the healing process in a relationship. In the Oakland Unified School District, they have what is called the Restorative Talking circle, the circle help the victim and the offender to sit down and have an open communication of why this happened. In the Restorative Circle helps each individual to build on their social-emotional skills as well to learn/practice with patience, empathy, active listening, and impulse control. David Yusem seeks to make sure that the circle be a safe place for everyone.]]> 2023-08-09 05:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2658500204 hanksm3 https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2658503039 The Neuroscience of Restorative justice]]> 2023-08-09 05:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2658503039 hanksm3 https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2658503612 Rethinking Challenging Kids-Where There's a Skill There's a Way | J. Stuart Ablon 

Has worked with 100’s of different backgrounds of children with behaviors. This is a major issue for teachers in the schools with teacher drop outs due to be overwhelmed due to behaviors in school, and big on referrals to mental health. “Kids do well if they can”. Development happens at different rates. When adults shift their thinking from when kids doing well if they want to, to kids do well if they can amazing things happen. We need to help children to learn to problem-solve and as teachers and families can help the children to collaborate to problem-solving.]]> 2023-08-09 05:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2658503612 hanksm3 https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2666513560 2023-08-19 23:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2666513560 hanksm3 https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2666514004 2023-08-19 23:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2666514004 hanksm3 https://padlet.com/hanksm3/m8junz59na27a5fj/wish/2666515012 As an Early Childhood Educator this is something I could do better at.
