Böcker av Belinda Hopkins

The Restorative Classroom invites classroom teachers and teaching assistants to reflect on themselves, on their role, their purpose and their intention in the classroom and on their current style of engagement with their students.

Contributors explain the diverse range of theories which underpin restorative practice. With examples of conventional and innovative applications across a range of settings, they demonstrate how the theories translate into effective practice.

Examines the harsh realities of confronting wrong-doing and injustice in school. This book provides an explanation of restorative justice and behaviour management. It offers a wide range of restorative practice measures and step-by-step instructions for planning and facilitating individual, small group and whole class conferences.

In this photocopiable resource, Belinda Hopkins identifies the practical benefits of employing the restorative approach, and offers a fresh look at encouraging self-regulation through the promotion of pro-social behaviour and greater involvement of the young people themselves in making choices that address everyone's needs.

In this practical handbook Hopkins presents a whole school approach to repairing harm using a variety of means including peer mediation, healing circles and conference circles. She provides clear, practical guidance for group sessions and examines issues and ideas relating to practical skill development for facilitators.
