Restorative Discipline Practices in Texas
Restorative Practices for Educators




Restorative Discipline Practices (RDP) in Texas began in the Fall of 2015. The International Institute of Restorative Practices defines restorative practices as, “social science that studies how to build social capital and achieve social discipline through participatory learning and decision-making.” Restorative practices focus on repairing social harm by involving the community.

Restorative discipline goes beyond punishing offenders for unwanted behavior, it is a mediation or reconciliation strategy to address root causes of behavior. Traditional modes of discipline focus on punishing unwanted behavior of offenders. Restorative discipline flips that script, focusing on repairing the harm done to people.


Important Session Information:


Restorative Practices helps us to build healthy relationships by identifying core values and establishing consensus around how we relate to one another. Restorative Practices provides a process for effective communication, establishing healthy boundaries, taking responsibility, solving conflict, healing when harm has occurred, and creating accountability for self and others.

In this 6-hour session, participants will first learn about what Restorative Practices is and is not, followed by why Restorative Practices is a proactive and reactive tool that campuses should have in their intervention toolbox. Participants will also learn how to facilitate the restorative process and implement foundational structures from a systems perspective, regardless if your system is one classroom, an entire grade level, or the whole campus.
