We discuss the diffusion model of innovators, early adapters, early majority, late majority, and laggards, and explore how restorative justice can thrive in the context of applied educational neuroscience.Together, we tackle the challenges of prioritizing education and supporting educators in a world where children are often not the focus of legislation and policy. We reveal the progress of trauma-informed and restorative justice programs in teacher preparation programs and share insights on the potential for positive change when educators lead the way. Hear a powerful personal story of survival and perseverance, and learn the invaluable lesson of grace and humanizing others in the context of restorative justice and trauma-informed practices.
