Advance Praise
“…Ken Johnson is clearly very educated in this subject and goes into depth very intricately, providing tips, scenarios, and examples for most - if not all - of his points, allowing for easy understanding and implementation in the future. I also believe that this book could be used, not just in the form of educational instruction for institutions, but by parents, educators, and anyone else who is interested in smoothing out their conflict management skills. I could see this being applied to businesses as well.”

"Bottom line? UNBROKEN CIRCLES FOR SCHOOLS, despite its simple title, is one of the most important and thought-provoking books I’ve ever read on any subject. More nonfiction books should be like this.
Grade: A."

This book is an interesting read. Ken Johnson makes many valid points. I think the success of implementing this program depends on the commitment of the school district and the skill of the trainer. I especially liked that Johnson calls for a five year plan to fully implement. Hopefully school districts that adopt this program do it with integrity, rather than just providing lip service.

Very informative and well written. Recommended. (Amazon reviewed).

How can we solve conflict without understanding how it works?
I had never really thought about this before, but 'Unbroken Circles for Schools' by Ken Johnson was an interesting and eye-opening read providing a real and thought provoking insight into how conflict begins and, unless it's dealt with, can move quickly into a cycle of negativity that can be neverending unless we break into it.
Just as grief studies divide the different stages up into various emotions, so Ken Johnson breaks the circle of conflict into different stages - and they were spot on! I recognised each and every stage in myself and my own conflicts and although the book is for schools, it has been very helpful in identifying patterns of thought and behaviours that can be changed.
An excellent book which I would thoroughly recommend.
