Implementing Restorative Justice in an Urban Elementary School: A Principal's Commitment and Experiences Eliminating Exclusionary Discipline
Farr, Bridget; Gandomi, Mackenzie; DeMatthews, David E.
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v23 n3 p48-62 Sep 2020
Principals play a critical role in creating safe, inclusive, and equitable schools. Unfortunately, many schools maintain a legacy of exclusionary discipline and racial bias. In such contexts, principals can work collaboratively with school personnel and community members to interrogate existing policies, practices, and outcomes to inform subsequent school improvement efforts. In this case, a principal in an urban school district situated within a gentrifying school-community identifies her school's legacy of racial bias and works to enact restorative justice. However, the principal confronts challenges and resistance during the implementation process.
