In this book, Marisol Rerucha draws on Indigenous traditions, research-based frameworks, and the support of fellow educators and scholars in order to offer teachers and administrators vital tools for facing crises with compassion. In addition to Rerucha's revolutionary vision of education that is holistic, human centered, and brought to life through actionable and accessible techniques, Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices features contributions from Pedro Terrazas, on restorative practices in the classroom; Dr. Enjolie Lourdes Lafaurie, on active listening for educators; and Dr. Carolyn Gery on understanding how trauma impacts relationships. Both empowering and urgently necessary, Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices can help you to build an organization-wide culture of healing and well-being from the ground up.
