      abstract = {Despite heightened attention to the problem, bullying  remains a scourge in U.S. schools, linked to a myriad of  negative outcomes including substance abuse, suicides, and  school shootings. As a young high school teacher, Tina  Owen-Moore saw the damage being done by bullying first-hand  and despaired. A former victim of bullying herself,  Owen-Moore did what she could to help students see the harm  and prevent it. But in 2005, when she and her fellow  Milwaukee teachers were offered the opportunity to start  new schools, Owen-Moore "knew what she had to do"--Create a  school in which bullying was not the norm. In The Alliance  Way, Owen-Moore details the beliefs and practices that have  made the Alliance School of Milwaukee a focus of national  attention as a safe, student-centered and academically  challenging school. The book illustrates how creating a  safe and inclusive environment goes beyond a programming  approach that targets bullying to a more holistic one where  building relationships, restorative practices, and planning  to prevent harm take center-stage.--},
