From the Instructor
I created Building Bridges because I know what it means to teach in a system that often overlooks the families we claim to serve. As an educator, restorative practitioner, and the daughter of Haitian immigrants, this course is both professional and personal. I want to equip educators with tools that don’t just meet mandates—but build trust, connection, and care across lines of difference.
