Schools are a community, and all communities experience challenges
and success. One of the challenges we commonly face is supporting
our educators in understanding how to meet our students'
social-emotional and behavioral needs in a way that provides
proactive and sustainable solutions. The Restorative Practices
Playbook is an outstanding resource any educator can use to start
their journey toward positive change. This book is full of
practical tools and examples that can support an individual teacher
or create system-wide change. I highly recommend this book to all
educators. -- Heath Peine * Executive Director of Student Support
Services, Wichita Public Schools *
I haven't been as excited about the implications of any book I have
read as I have with The Restorative Practices Playbook. As we
continue to evolve in our discipline methods as a district, this
playbook offers a systematic guide that can help us to reflect and
adjust our practices. We need to offer better solutions to support
positive behavior in our schools and this book provides action
steps to make those changes happen. -- Kris Felicello *
Superintendent of Schools, North Rockland Central School District *
