Review Text "Engaging book." (Dispute Resolution Journal, April 2003) "Highly Recommend." (CHOICE, September 1, 2003) "Given the current social climate, Kids Working It Out is an important and engaging tool that helps students, parents, teachers, and administrators deal seriously and creatively with violence, conflict, anger, alienation. Unlike most books of this nature, I was happy to see that the voices and the visions of young people are at the very heart of the dialogue and the resolutions. If implemented, the strategies outlined in Kids Working It Out would make our world, not just our schools, a better and safer place." Â— Danny Glover, actor and parent "An extraordinary book on students managing their own conflicts. . . . The book gives a stunning view of the conflicts present in schools and the ways they can be constructively managed. . . . both deeply interesting and informative." Â— David W. Johnson, professor of educational psychology, University of Minnesota "A comprehensive, must-read volume on Conflict Resolution Education. Teachers will be inspired by the innovative work of their peers, while parents will be motivated to make sure these important life skills are available in every school."Â— Ellen Raider, cofounder, International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution, Teachers College, Columbia University "From smart strategies to quality resources, the authors provide many excellent examples of the current best practices. Most impressive are the powerful actions and words of youth who demonstrate their understanding of peacemaking." Â— Donna Crawford, executive director, National Center for Conflict Resolution Education "Students deserve to be in environments in which they are safeÂ— physically, social-emotionally, and intellectually. This book explains to educators, policymakers, and parents how this can happen in a wide range of schools and communities." Â— Maurice J.
