[Lynn Pribus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, it's out of date, but why not give it five stars. For no particular reason I entered my name in the blank place on GoodReads and this popped up, cover and all, but no reviews. (Constantly surprised by GoodReads.) I was the editor and it was a really well done book. Good information for new teachers and great illustrations.

I still show up a lot on Google listings for this book. Actually Marilyn Pribus gets almost 9K hits and Lynn Pribus a few more. Probably some are the same listings. They used to call this ego surfing. I still do it occasionally to see who is pirating my copyrighted stories. Usually manage to send out a half dozen invoices for payment every year.

This is an excellent book for any new teacher. What's especially intriguing is the section discussing circles and forms of restorative practices. I engage in these in my school and they are the new method for building relationships and curriculum.
