Restorative Justice Overview
Schools and school districts around the country are turning to restorative justice practices as an alternative to harsh exclusionary discipline practices. Restorative justice is a philosophy, rather than a specific program or curriculum, which focuses on repairing the harm done when a member of a community violates the standards of conduct. Restorative practices include a variety of methods used to uphold the philosophy. In many cases, educators use restorative practices not only when harm is done, but also as a preventive tool to help members of the school community build healthy and positive relationships and address needs and challenges as they arise.
