Educator and author Elizabeth Stein offers a thoughtful, useful book on how to integrate restorative practices into the classroom experience to both streamline student behavior and improve engagement and learning. When teachers recognize the “in between spaces” during the day-to-day, those quieter moments of transitions between tasks, they offer students safe, inviting ways to own their learning and participate in an engaged community of learners. By highlighting the Universal Design for Learning framework, Stein’s book is both insightful and practical, offering busy educators easy-to-implement strategies to humanize classroom management and improve student learning.
As Elizabeth points out,
Humanizing Classroom Management offers educators inspiring and insightful guidance on how to address challenges of student behavior while also supporting their learning outcomes.

Our schools and institutions need educators who are courageous enough to acknowledge that what we are currently doing is not meeting the needs of all learners. Our learning environments are not universally designed if we lack the willingness to address the inclusion of systems, structures and routines that provide our learners with agency, such as restorative practices. Elizabeth Stein not only acknowledges this but provides readers with tools that are necessary to implement these practices with fidelity.”
Dr. Elizabeth Stein so invitingly brings us into her world where understanding students works in intuitive as well as surprising ways. She really connects brain and heart to help educators crack the middle-school code in humanizing, immediately applicable ways. I am beyond thrilled to see her make the work accessible and replicable. She is as loving and passionate as she is knowledgeable and practical.”
