Books in the Principles in Practice imprint offer teachers concrete illustrations of effective classroom practices based in NCTE research briefs and policy statements. Each book discusses the research on a specific topic, links the research to an NCTE brief or policy statement, and then demonstrates how those principles come alive in practice: by showcasing actual classroom practices that demonstrate the policies in action; by talking about research in practical, teacher-friendly language; and by offering teachers possibilities for rethinking their own practices in light of the ideas presented in the books. Books within the imprint are grouped in strands, with each strand focused on a significant topic of interest. Strands: Adolescent Literacy | Writing in Today’s Classrooms | Literacy Assessment | Literacies of the Disciplines Reading in Today’s Classrooms | Teaching English Language Learners | Students’ Rights to Read and Write Imprint Editor: Cathy Fleischer

“A transformative book. If this book is on your to-read list, move it to the top!” —Jessica Variz, Redondo Union High School The authors—two teacher educators and a restorative justice practitioner—provide concrete and specific examples of how English teachers can think and plan using a restorative justice lens to address issues of student disconnection and alienation; adult and youth well-being in schools; and inequity and racial justice through writing, reading, speaking, and action. They examine the intersection of restorative justice and education with a focus on restorative justice processes that are used to promote inclusivity and ownership, and demonstrate how teachers can use their curricular powers with a restorative justice framework in mind to empower the literacy classroom as a space for addressing inequalities across domains. 126 pp. | 2019 | Grades 6–12 | ISBN 9780814141014 $23.96 member/$29.99 nonmember ebook: ISBN 9780814141021
