We are talking about my new book… RISING ABOVE: A Story of Positive School Conflict Resolution


  1. Basics about my background and work in schools

  2. Why did I write the book?

  3. How do I expect the book to help educators?

  4. I heard this book is the first of its kind…. What makes it so unique?

  5. What are you hoping is the main take-a-way about school conflict?

Build in Public - how the book came to be. The interviews and the book. 


This is certainly not an exhaustive list, nor will we ask everything that is on here, but will help guide the conversation.
