Breaking Down Barriers and Rethinking Discipline


Listen Later

In this episode of the Learning and Justice for All Podcast, Danny and Jasmine tackle the critical issue of structural barriers in education, focusing on the harmful impact of zero-tolerance policies on marginalized students. They discuss how these policies, meant to ensure safety, often disproportionately affect students of color, students with disabilities, and those from low-income backgrounds, contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline. Drawing from Chapter 4 of Dr. Zac Robbins' Restorative Justice Tribunal, the conversation explores alternatives to punitive discipline, including restorative justice practices that foster understanding, accountability, and healing. Plus, Danny and Jill share practical strategies for teachers to implement in their classrooms, such as restorative circles, bias awareness, and creating a supportive learning environment. Tune in for actionable insights that can help transform school culture and promote equity for all students.
