A fully revised & updated handbook for teachers and administrators on creating just and equitable learning environments for students; building and maintaining healthy relationships; healing harm and transforming conflict.
Much more than a response to harm, restorative justice nurtures relational, interconnected school cultures. The wisdom embedded within its principles and practices is being welcomed at a time when exclusionary discipline and zero tolerance policies are recognized as perpetuating student apathy, disproportionality, and the school-to-prison pipeline.
Relying on the wisdom of early proponents of restorative justice, the daily experiences of educators, and the authors’ extensive experience as classroom teachers and researchers, this Little Book guides the growth of restorative justice in education (RJE) into the future. Incorporating activities, stories, and examples throughout the book, three major interconnected and equally important aspects of restorative justice in education are explained and applied: creating just and equitable learning environments; building and maintaining healthy relationships; healing harm and transforming conflict.
Reviews:
This is a much needed and powerful little book. As RJE spreads around the country we need books to make very clear how important it is to establish a culture shift in how we teach and not use RJE just to respond to harm. Thank you! (Amazon reviewer, 2018)
The Little Book series presents an amazing wealth of information for so few pages. The foundational information to understand the principles and practices are clear and there are plenty of examples to flesh it out so the readers can imagine the applications in their own schools.
