Eliminate school discipline and classroom management problems with schoolwide restorative justiceWashington Post bestseller Hacking School Discipline brought restorative practice to classrooms around the world. The sequel, Hacking School Discipline TOGETHER, is helping all stakeholders--teachers, students, counselors, principals, superintendents, and parents--create a schoolwide restorative justice system that can change the culture of schools around the world.

When administrators, teachers and staff are not responding collaboratively to student behaviors, schools can succumb to a frustrating and anxious culture of ignoring or punishing, in which both students and adults struggle. We may feel powerless to have a positive impact on our students and not trust the other adults to do the right thing, rather than confidently addressing student behaviors in ways that help them learn new skills, build better relationships, and learn to be accountable.

Enter the Hacking School Discipline sequel Hacking School Discipline TOGETHER, featuring all new content from 40-year teacher, school leader, and restorative justice expert Jeffrey Benson, who provides a roadmap for schoolwide staff unity, compassion, consistency, and restorative practices that do far more than send students to detention and suspension. Benson not only shares the kind of practical solutions that typify all Hack Learning Series books, he pulls you into the story of a school shifting to a culture of restorative practices; you see one school's transformation while you learn how to create your own.

Hacking School Discipline TOGETHER shows you how to:Fix the chronic structural flaws in routines and practices that make it harder for students to do the right thing. Take positive actions when working with a student who is struggling to behave well.

Clarify the role administrators must play in addressing significant misbehaviors. Take the critical steps for integrating a student back into the classroom.

Prevent misbehaviors rather than react to them. Understand how important it is for all staff to be pulling in the same direction and how to make that happen.

This book uniquely speaks to administrators guiding a school to a culture of restorative practice, to staff members longing to help all students learn from their impulsive decisions, and to teachers creating classrooms that foster responsibility, forgiveness, and accountability. We can change the status quo in which the adults in a school are independently making stressful decisions with struggling students, and students are concluding that their biggest mistake was being caught, and instead, follow this roadmap to a school where administrators increasingly trust staff and staff increasingly trust administrators, and students get the benefit of what we do best: educate.
