Abstract
As data against the utility of exclusionary school discipline mounts, school districts are increasingly turning toward restorative justice as an alternative response to conflicts and rule violations. In this chapter, the author’s place this recent restorative movement into a broader historical context, describe the principles that guide the movement, and make visible the many challenges of school implementation, including getting buy-in, building the necessary infrastructure, and navigating the various power dynamics likely to be present along the way. The chapter concludes with “realistic expectations” based on both the author’s work with schools and the relevant literature examining the implementation process.
