CASDA EdCasts Episode 8





       Relationships and Empathy: The Foundation of Safe, Supportive Schools



       In this month’s CASDA EdCast, CASDA faculty member Brian Farr and Thomas Andriola,
       Chief of Policy and Implementation at the NYS Office of Youth Justice, discuss how the
       concept of school safety must be contextualized for all students to be safe and thrive.
       They explore ideas such as ACEs, implicit bias, SEL, restorative practices and building
       relationships in the course of a fascinating, informative, and often moving dialog.
