Intended to be used as a supplement to the original 2015 edition of Circle Forward, this Circle Forward Supplement contains the new module of Circles, recently added to the revised edition, for adults in schools to talk about race and equity issues. Educators who already have the original version can now access this new material without having to purchase the 2020 edition. This supplement to Circle Forward is intended to be used in conjunction with the original publication of Circle Forward: Building a Restorative School Community. Critical information for building the capacity to use the Circles in this publication is in the original book. Circles that explore race and equity issues raise many challenges and require sustained commitment and learning. For this reason, we do not recommend using this supplement without a foundation of understanding the Circle process and developing a Circle practice.

Beyond Suppression: Community Strategies to Reduce Gang Violence explores a demonstration project of one state’s efforts to reduce gang and youth violence through use of a comprehensive initiative, the Comprehensive Gang Model (CGM).

This book examines a victim-offender dialogue program that offers victims of severe violence an opportunity to meet face-to-face with their incarcerated offenders. Using interview data, it follows the harrowing stories of crime and violence, ultimately moving beyond story-telling to provide both an accessible analysis of restorative justice and evidence that the program has significantly helped the victims. It also looks at how the program has impacted offenders, many of whom have also experienced positive changes in their lives in terms of creating greater accountability and greater victim empathy.

The Heart of Higher Education

A call to advance integrative teaching and learning in higher education. From Parker Palmer, best-selling author of The Courage to Teach, and Arthur Zajonc, professor of physics at Amherst College and director of the academic program of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, comes this call to revisit the roots and reclaim the vision of higher education.

The book offers a rich interplay of analysis, theory, and proposals for action from two educators and writers who have ...
