Traditional school discipline practices have left students feeling isolated, rejected, and unmotivated. While discipline policies are there to deter misbehavior, those very policies exacerbate the perpetual misbehavior of students. Widespread efforts to curb exclusionary and discriminatory discipline in schools have led to a growing focus on restorative approaches, a set of practices aimed at building strong in-­school relationships and attachments, rather than pushing students out of school. As a result of attending this session school leaders will learn how to repair relationships while supporting reflection, communication, and problem-­solving skills for staff and students.
