Better Than Carrots or Sticks: Restorative Practices for Positive Classroom Management by Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, Dominique Smith

2.0

This book is a fine overview of restorative practices for anyone is brand new to them or new to teaching. While there was some helpful information in two of the six chapters, the other four were about how to build relationships with students — pretty basic. I did get some helpful information about peace building (problematic in not crediting the Indigenous peoples whose strategy that is), and circles. I had extra trouble with the student examples that were straight up eye-rolling ridiculous to anyone who has taught teens and the fact that the teachers referenced all worked in one small school. I definitely need more information than this book provided.
