As we return to in person learning, schools are activating best practices to ensure a restorative restart for their communities.  At John Sloat elementary, leaders and staff have worked hard to cultivate a positive return to school with explicit SEL and healing centered practices, such as calming corners for students and adults.  In this episode, Principal Claudia Alfaro, Social Worker Liz Torres, Student Support Services Coordinator Pam Cajucom and 5th grade teacher, Marlayna Flores speak to Rosie Arcona and Mai Xi Lee about prioritizing care for their community with Calming Corners.
