WEP 198: Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices, an Interview with Marisol Rerucha

In this episode of The Wired Educator Podcast, I interview Marisol Rerucha, author of the awesome book, Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices, an Interview with Marisol Rerucha. Our powerful conversation will leave you moved and empowered to make an impact.

I love how our conversation touches on the present and future of education, while centering around beliefs and ways to connect that are thousands of years old. I find Marisol enlightening. She challenges our choices and encourages each of us to face what is keeping us from becoming the best version of ourselves. She encourages us to be vulnerable and highlights and importance of the circle. Yes the circle. The circle is the key to connect with one another in a very human way and this very well may be the secret to a transformational culture. Learn more about this inside this episode. 

Marisol Quevedo Rerucha, author of, Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices: Building an Organizational Culture of Equity, Connection and Healing, is a proven leader who doesn't just talk about healing, equity, social justice, and disrupting generational trauma; she has both lived experience and a proven record of doing this work while leading change in education and non-profit systems. As a former teacher, principal, district leader and non-profit leader she uses her voice to challenge systems of oppression and more importantly amplifies the voices of others. The impact of her passion, experience, work, and voice is felt beyond her own community as she serves as: Chief of Strategy and Partnerships for the National Parents Union;  Director of Culture and Community for DBC Inc; Chair of UnidosUSNational Institute for Latino School Leaders alumni council; Board Member of Youth Empowerments Finest; host of the Facebook Live, "Restorative Check In"; and as a partner with organizations (nonprofit and for profit business) to provide comprehensive strategic action planning and restorative practices.
