Learn how to implement a restorative justice approach that reduces
suspension and expulsion rates, without compromising school safety
and classroom order. Author Dr. Zachary Scott Robbins, who has
turned around schools in Boston, Massachusetts, and Las Vegas,
Nevada, explores the assumptions that underpin school policies that
lead to high rates of suspensions and expulsions, especially for
African-American students. He shares his experiences using
Restorative Justice Tribunals and Restorative Justice Circles,
which strike an effective balance between serving consequences to
students who misbehave and providing them with therapeutic
wraparound supports. This powerful book will help school leaders
avoid discriminating based on race, national origin, or disability;
will improve school climate; and will help teachers spend less time
on discipline, so they can have more time for instruction and
preparing students to graduate.

nominations for Outstanding Costumes for a Series. Detailed
photographs, fan-favorite stills from the television series, and

This open access book brings together a range of contributions that
seek to explore the ethical issues arising from the overlap between
counter-terrorism, ethics, and technologies. Terrorism and our
responses pose some of the most significant ethical challenges to
states and people. At the same time, we are becoming increasingly
aware of the ethical implications of new and emerging technologies.
Whether it is the use of remote weapons like drones as part of
counter-terrorism strategies, the application of surveillance
technologies to monitor and respond to terrorist activities, or
counterintelligence agencies use of machine learning to detect
suspicious behavior and hacking computers to gain access to
encrypted data, technologies play a significant role in modern
counter-terrorism. However, each of these technologies carries with
them a range of ethical issues and challenges. How we use these
technologies and the policies that govern them have broader impact
beyond just the identification and response to terrorist
activities. As we are seeing with China, the need to respond to
domestic terrorism is one of the justifications for their rollout
of the "social credit system." Counter-terrorism technologies can
easily succumb to mission creep, where a technology's exceptional
application becomes normalized and rolled out to society more
generally. This collection is not just timely but an important
contribution to understand the ethics of counter-terrorism and
technology and has far wider implications for societies and nations
around the world.

The curiosity-stirring, can-do handbook for building inclusive
cultures With one click we can make our camera lens switch from
portrait to landscape, so why can’t we find a simple way to
broaden our perspectives on equity? Because human beings are wildly
complex, for one thing. But this potent guide simplifies, providing
concrete techniques for becoming expansive educators capable of
engaging every student. Chapter assets include: Compelling research
to support why it’s urgent we embrace foundational fairness—and
why even subtle words can have massive effects on students’ sense
of potential Questions and prompts that help you build inclusive
thinking into your expectations of students, your feedback,
grading, and approaches to discipline Activities, discussion
frames, and debate structures that support students’ exploration
of complex topics Ideas for engaging staff, leadership, family, and
the community in ways that reveal strength Social justice work is
not "other;" it’s not extra. It’s student agency work. It’s
what keeps so many of us educators up at night, worried about why
some of our learners aren’t engaged. With this book, they will be
engaged, because they will know you believe in their abilities, and
now know how to show that every day.
