“Taking
Restorative
Justice to
Schools" is a
practical
resource for
those wanting to
rethink their
approach to
wrongdoing and
conflicts in
schools and
other contexts
involving youth.
…it is a
significant
contribution to
the growing
literature on
restorative
processes
in the
educational
field.
|
This is a
practical guide
from a
practitioner.
Ms. Holtham
provides the
philosophical
foundations for
restorative
justice,
describes the
need for it in
schools, the
record of
success and then
a roadmap for
implementation.
She describes
the required
stakeholders,
appropriate
offenses and
then offers a
"how to" manual
with sample
scripts to
conduct
restorative
justice
conferences. If
you are
interested in
reducing class
disruptions,
suspensions and
expulsions while
creating an
educational
community and
culture of
learning, this
book tells you
how to do it
with restorative
practices.

Jeannette
Holtham has hit
the nail on the
head.
Restorative
Justice is not a
replacement to
conventional
discipline, it's
an alternative.
For those who
are willing to
take ownership
of their
actions, RJ is
an incredible
tool to building
better citizens.
