In schools around the world, a remarkable shift is happening. Where once the rule was to employ punitive measures to settle conflicts, we are now seeing our global educators looking toward using the healing power of restorative practices to resolve disputes and to repair damaged relationships—and it is the students who are taking the lead. Restorative Practices: Better Outcomes Through Solution Fluency explores how the restorative philosophy of conflict resolution is enhanced by the 6 Ds of Solution Fluency, and how you and your own students can benefit from the presence of a solid restorative practice program in your own school.
