Restorative Justice: An Alternative to
Suspension
SCHOOL CLIMATE
Restorative justice is focused on the belief that those
affected by harm can work together to repair it and
that this collaboration leads to true accountability. This
session will focus on the basic principles of developing
a restorative justice model on your campus. What
are restorative practices and principles? How do
restorative practices align with your multi-tiered levels
of intervention that already exist? What do restorative
meetings look like in a school? How does this impact
suspension and expulsion rates on a campus? These
questions and others will be answered, and participants
will leave the session with enough information to begin
to implement a restorative model on their respective
campuses. These strategies can be implemented at a
classroom, school-wide, or district level, so teachers,
counselors, administrators, and central office personnel
are encouraged to attend.
