Weaver, Jo Lauren; Swank, Jacqueline M.
RMLE Online: Research in Middle Level Education, v43 n4 2020
Restorative justice is an alternative disciplinary approach to the traditional, punitive approach to discipline. This case study focused on exploring the implementation of restorative justice discipline practices within a middle school. Participants included students, teachers, and an administrator. Five themes emerged from the data: (a) different approach, (b) restorative justice activities, (c) relationships, (d) meaningful consequences, and (e) expectations. The researchers also discuss the implications and recommendations for future research.
