Esther's interest in restorative practices was born of her experience as a teacher in public schools in England.
Discovering that restorative practices offered a way to use the techniques and approach of restorative justice in schools, she started taking professional development training with the International Institute for Restorative Practices, and is working towards their Masters degree in Restorative Practices and Education. She has trained in mediation with Cynthia Olson and received circle training from Jeanette Martinez of Outcomes, Inc. Collaborating with Stéphane Luchini, she developed the website Restorative Justice New Mexico. As well as using restorative practices in her teaching work, she conducted circles for women at the Grant County Detention Center and is developing a program to provide support circles for victims of crime. |
