Episode 5: What is the function and vision of a school?
Practitioner and scholar, Taharka Anderson, gets his turn on the mic as he breaks down schools as indicators of society and the treatment of students of color representing oppressions of these communities on a nationwide scale. He talks about how parents and communities are impacted by schools as well as how school policies are impacted through community activism. We then turn the conversation towards how grounding and centering or mood create a necessary container that supports adults in training for this work. This then shifts the dialogue to meeting needs and nurturance, and the gendered lens society can view this work through. Taharka explains how this work has activated his capacity to tap into Restorative choices. We finish this expansive conversation with a brand new game!
