Series: Justice and Peacebuilding

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

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.

Reviews for The Little Book of Restorative Discipline for Schools: Teaching Responsibility; Creating Caring Climates

0;Agamben has been attracting attention recently in the English-speaking world, thanks to the increasing availability of his work in translation. This volume is indicative of Agamben7;s broad range of interests. . . . Despite this range of interests, however, a sustained commitment to certain theoretical issues2;particularly language and history2;lends the volume a coherence. . . . Daniel Heller-Roazen7;s introduction does a nice job of outlining the philosophical program that motivates these essays, and his translation in general is to be commended for its elegance.
