Synopsis

Can community-building begin in a classroom? The authors of this audiobook believe that by applying restorative justice at school, we can build a healthier and more just society.

Can an overworked teacher possibly turn an unruly incident with students into an opportunity for learning, growth, and community-building? If restorative justice has been able to salvage lives within the world of criminal behavior, why shouldn't its principles be applied in school classrooms and cafeterias? And if our children learn restorative practices early and daily, won't we be building a healthier, more just society?

Two educators answer yes, yes, and yes in this new addition to The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series. Amstutz and Mullet offer applications and models. Discipline that restores is a process to make things as right as possible. This Little Book shows how to get there.

The Little Book of Restorative Discipline is skillfully read by Karen Chilton, narrator of the audio edition of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. This audiobook includes a bonus conversation with series editor Howard Zehr and Sheryl Wilson, President of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Community and Restorative Justice.

Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Some well-written, good, practical instructions on why and how to apply Restorative Discipline in a school setting. And I am a fan of the idea. But it seems almost too bulky and definitely too time consuming to be applied and used in a daily manner within a public school. A friend works at a large p......more

Even after reading this it’s still hard for me to picture this in practice at my school. I worry about the time it will take to make this effective and not an exercise in futility. But of course I want my school to be successful and an inclusive school for all.......more

Goodreads review by Annette on November 19, 2015

I just thought this book was okay. I think school staff would be better served by reading Positive Discipline in the Classroom and The Little Book of Restorative Justice- both mentioned in this book. Those books provide a better understanding of Restorative Justice philosophy and the mechanics of ci......more
