Restorative Justice
Restorative justice is a tool for addressing the roots causes of misbehaviour, which often results in in-school and out-of-school suspensions and other disciplinary actions. Students of color, and particularly Black students, are most likely to experience such action, even for minor infractions. Restorative justice practices (which prioritize establishing shared community vaules, personal accountability, community accountability, and the genuine healing for any harmed parties) and have been proven effective causing school districts across the country to push for the implementation of restorative justice initiatives in schools.
