Critics Review
This book is so much more than a ‘How To’ manual for restorative practices in schools. By offering a continuum of responses it lays out a whole-school approach to the full range of relationship issues supported with excellent advice on decision-making and a powerful chapter on ‘What ifs?’ It also supports the development of a relationship-based approach to teaching and learning. Gold!
– Maurie Abraham, Principal, Hobsonville Point Secondary SchoolStill passionate about their work, Marg and Dave write with insight, generosity, compassion and understanding, distilling over 25 years of wisdom and experience into a seamless narrative that is a joy to read. The book is highly practical and is essential reading for both those new to the field and those with more experience. – Dr Belinda Hopkins, Director of Transforming Conflict and author of Just Schools, Just Care and Restorative Theory in Practice
Restorative trainers, trainees and practitioners will find this book invaluable. It is very much a manual - thoughtfully guiding the reader through the what, why and how of a range of school-based restorative processes. The scenarios are a great training resource and the case studies illustrate the sometimes messy reality of running restorative processes. A highly recommended and valuable resource.
