Teaching Restorative Practices with Danica Hall
This week on The No Name Paper Podcast, Meghan and Candace sit down with educator, SEL coach, and restorative justice advocate Danica Hall of Columbus City Schools. From corporate life to the classroom, Danica shares her powerful journey into education and how restorative practices became her calling.
We dive deep into:
What restorative practices really look like in schools
How student-led circles promote empathy and healing
Why reintegration matters after discipline
Real stories of transformation from the classroom
How yoga, trust, and “love sandwiches” make a difference
What every teen needs to hear when dealing with conflict
Danica also plays our favorite game, “Restore or Ignore”, where she weighs in on karaoke circles, Spider-Man sightings, pineapple pizza, and more.
✨ Whether you're an educator looking to bring more humanity to your classroom or a leader hoping to shift school culture, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and heart.
