In this episode, we explore the critical shift from reactive to proactive conflict resolution in schools. We discuss why traditional, punitive approaches often fall short and introduce innovative strategies like peer mediation, restorative practices, and social-emotional learning. The conversation highlights the power of empowering students with the skills to navigate conflicts themselves, fostering a culture of resolution over punishment. By adopting these methods, schools can create a more harmonious environment, teach invaluable life skills, and actively work to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline.
