TitleThe Little Book of Restorative Discipline for Schools: Teaching Responsibility; Creating Caring Climates
AuthorsLorraine Stutzman Amstutz; Judy H. Mullet
NotesCan an overworked teacher possibliy 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?

If our children learn restorative practices early and daily, won't we be building a healthier, more just society?

Two educators answer yes. So how does it all work? Amstutz and Mullet offer applications and models. Among them are class meetings, reintegration of suspended students, circle processes and community conferencing. "Discipline that restores is a process to make things as right as possible."
