The Little Book of Restorative Communication is an easy-to-use toolkit that guides educators to navigate conflict in a way that builds and maintains relationships in schools. Whether engaging with adults or children, conflict is inevitable. Based on the principles and processes of the renowned Nonviolent Communication (NVC), this book is driven by a practical framework that educators can use to navigate conflict, increase feelings of connectedness, and influence their school community through healthy interaction and relationship-building skills.

Opening with an overview of the basic elements of restorative communication, each chapter highlights tools that real teachers use in today's classrooms-from assessment materials and conversation templates to interactive games and beyond-offering an honest view of successes, failures, and next steps. The nonlinear, adaptive, and experiential style of the content offers educators the freedom and flexibility to try any or all of the tools with colleagues, students or even family members. Teachers, counselors, and other practitioners will find a wealth of accessible insights into why conflicts arise, why we communicate the way we do, and how to listen and speak with real purpose.
