Making Things Right:
Restorative Justice for School Communities

Drawing on the wisdom of peacemaking circles and the tribal courts if indigenous cultures, Restorative Justice seek to repair the harm done by wrongdoing through face-to-face meetings with those who have been directly impacted. Many school communities are beginning to implement Restorative Justice tracks into their own disciplinary process as a means of reducing suspension, expulsion, and police involvement. The goal of these school-based Restorative Justice efforts is to hold offending students accountable for their actions, while at the same time addressing the fears and concerns of victims and the wider school community. This video provides an overview of the principles and practices of Restorative Justice in school settings, and includes interviews with teachers, administrators, parents, and students who have all been impacted by the process.
