The Role of Restorative Discipline in the School System
Otto, Kelly
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v8 n1 p46-49 2016
Classroom discipline plays an integral role in the daily activities of educators. Educators can choose traditional discipline methods with short-term results or modern practices such as restorative discipline that promise holistic healing with lasting results. Research has shown that the use of restorative discipline builds community, promotes healthy decision making, and heals all involved parties. No single discipline strategy can work for all situations. A balance between traditional and innovative practices is necessary for the effective management of the school and to meet the needs of individual students.
