Veteran educator and author Elizabeth Stein offers a thoughtful, useful book on how to integrate restorative practices into the classroom experience to both streamline student behavior and improve learning and engagement.

By highlighting the Universal Design for Learning framework, Stein’s book is both insightful and practical, offering busy educators easy-to-implement strategies to humanize classroom management and improve student learning.
