Bio
Regina S. Moye, M.Ed. Ed.S, Ed.D Doctoral Candidate
Renise has the ability to connect the concept of restorative practice into a classroom and helps teachers develop an understanding of their own self-awareness in order to identify the needs of all students. Renise demonstrates a passion for the work, gives a clear explanation of why cultural competency and racial empathy is key to making connections with students in restoring the community and student relationships. Her presentations are clear, direct, and based on research that supports how effective this practice in a school community. I look forward to a continuous relationship with Renise as she will continue providing her support in the implementation of restorative practice in our school. Her commitment to this work is evident in her presentation and trainings.
