We talk with Joshua Saleem, the St. Louis Peace Education Program Director of the American Friends Service Committee, about restorative practices in schools. Restorative practices look to build caring relationships between students and staff, and students and their peers, creating an educational environment where students are encouraged and empowered. And if discipline is required, the aim is to restore the student to the community instead of removal. Find out how these practices can shut down the school-to-prison pipeline at the source.
