In this episode we learn the story of how a paraeducator, Lisa Emfeld, grew up to become very passionate about helping students feel connected and able to learn social emotional skills. She currently serves the Corona Norco Unified School District as a resource paraeducator, climate and culture site coach, and community building/restorative practice facilitator. In this episode, Lisa describes her struggles with growing up and never feeling connected. She shares how this led her to the work she is so passionate about now: restorative circles, community building with staff and students, and building relationships.
