I recently received an email from Edutopia Editor-in-Chief  Steve Merrill. He says, “A roundup of Edutopia favorites to help you kick off the school year strong, with ideas for classroom design, family communication, community-building, routines and norms, and classroom management.” Edutopia is one of my favorite go-tos for restorative practices in schools and all things school related. They’ve compiled a back to school starter pack I thought you might like.
