Better Than Carrots or Sticks: Restorative Practices for Positive Classroom Management

Highly recommended read for teacher, and even parents. Great book with a lot information. Includes plenty of research based findings. More teachers need to be using these practices instead of the current reward or punishment system that does little to teach kids how to actually behave, nor does it encourage kids to make amends for their mistakes. The methods also work really well into a trauma informed school/classroom.

Great for teachers who need a boost to classroom management techniques. Simple read with profound ideas about kids and how they learn, as well as self reflection for the teacher or adult in the classroom. Good for parents as well.

interesting read! lots of great tips and suggestions

Perhaps it's a lack of exposure to other classroom management texts, but this one is easily one of the best reads. It's a great guide full of interesting concepts that I had never considered before. This book REALLY changed my perspective on a lot of things and I find myself more comfortable and at peace with the way I interact with my students. It's a great read. Gives a lot for you to think about and consider. Even if you're not going to be a teacher or educator in some form or fashion, it's a great guide for raising a generation of thoughtful, intuitive and compassionate people.
