5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. Logical, progressive, needed., July 9, 1999
By 
This review is from: Restitution: Restructuring School Discipline (Paperback)
This book is simply too logical for today's educational community. Unlike most of the common education rhetoric it focuses on kids and their unique needs. It's a must-read for school administrators, teachers, and support personnel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transform you classroom!, September 26, 2005
This review is from: Restitution: Restructuring School Discipline (Paperback)
I found Diane Gossen's book to be an excellent resource for building classroom community and individual responsibility. The "restitution" process transformed my high school classroom. Discipline problems disappeared immediately so that we could get down to the business of learning and discovery. Gossen's practical strategies work for teachers and parents..... and are a 'must' for pre-service teachers.

This book is an excellent one to read to get a good overview as to what this type of classroom management involves. It makes sense. I can't wait to try it in my classroom.
