Disrupting Discipline: An In-Depth Examination of Restorative Practices’ Impacts and Implementation

Sun, April 14, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 110B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Restorative Practices (RP) have gained popularity as schools address inequalities arising from school exclusionary discipline. Consequently, RP has been featured in state education codes and adopted by districts nationwide. While current experimental or quasi-experimental studies show that RP decreases exclusionary discipline, its effects on other important outcomes are mixed (e.g., school climate) or have not been considered (e.g., arrests). Furthermore, we know little about how RP implementation shapes its effects and which conditions facilitate or hinder implementation. This session features quantitative and mixed methods papers that examine the effects of RP on a range of important outcomes (e.g., school climate, exclusionary discipline, arrests) and shed light on factors that shape district adoption and implementation of RP.
