A restorative justice approach to addressing sexual misconduct in colleges and universities. Written for college and university practitioners and administrators, The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Campus Sexual Harms: A Holistic Approach to Address Sexual Misconduct and Relationship Violence for Colleges and Universities combines explanation, justification, and contextualization for the application of restorative justice (RJ) for sexual misconduct, including for alleged Title IX violations. This book outlines considerations, action steps, and best practices for campuses that are interested in exploring the successful implementation of RJ for sexual misconduct. The authors'' backgrounds as practitioners within the higher education context grounds this work with personal reflections, experiences, and stories. This book provides a primer for colleges and universities who seek to move campus culture in a more restorative direction generally, and specifically for practitioners interested in exploring the possibility of amending existing sexual misconduct policies, including investigative-adjudicatory Title IX policy and procedures, through a restorative justice informed lens. Readers will explore why it makes all the difference (for both students and administrators) to add RJ resolution options.

Parental/familial involvement in the classroom as well as school community is an issue of constant importance. Parents and families are crucial participants in a child''s education. It is critical to create a bridge between home and school. Parental/familial involvement within the school community is essential to the quality of all children''s educational as well as their cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development. This Action Research Project was focused on finding the most effective means of getting parents/families involved in the school community. This study was completed at a small private Montessori children''s house school we will call "Children''s House" Montessori in the Midwest. 22 families were involved in this Action Research Project. This study used surveys after each community event/involvement activity occurred. The surveys were sent to every family to measure the effectiveness of the event or information provided in helping the parents/families get involved in the school community. Results indicated that each community building activity or parent communication helped the parents and families feel more connected to the school community. The surveys given helped to decipher which activities and communications were most important to the parents and families.

This thesis examines Theodore Dreiser''s "Sister Carrie," Frank Norris''s "Vandover and the Brute," Edith Wharton''s "The House of Mirth," Jack London''s "Martin Eden," Abraham Cahan''s "The Rise of David Levinsky," and Upton Sinclair''s "The Jungle" as well as relevant secondary sources in order to study themes of socio-economic mobility across the genre. Chapter one discusses upward mobility and compares and contrasts the rises of Carrie Meeber and Martin Eden in an attempt to ascertain what exactly makes a socio-economic rise successful and what makes it impossible. Chapter two discusses George Hurstwood, Vandover, and Lily Bart and their respective declines in socio-economic status. This chapter examines the factors that led to these characters'' downward movement and determines trends across the genre. The final chapter discusses Jurgis Rudkus and David Levinsky and their disparate levels of success after immigrating to America. This chapter points out the difficulties in becoming financially and socially successful and also discusses the importance of assimilation and the embrace of capitalism in order to succeed in America.
