Insights, Strategies, and Success Stories for Transforming School Culture

Welcome to the Restorative Practice Blog, your go-to resource for educators, administrators, counselors, and school leaders who want to create stronger relationships, reduce suspensions, resolve conflicts, and build inclusive learning environments where every student thrives.

For over five years, I’ve worked with schools and districts to implement Restorative Practices (RP) — helping educators move from punitive discipline toward healing, accountability, and connection. This blog was created to share my expertise, provide practical tools, and highlight real success stories from schools across the country.

Why Restorative Practices Matter

Instead of punishing students, we equip them to take responsibility, repair harm, and rebuild relationships.

Research shows that schools using RP:

• Reduce suspensions and expulsions

• Improve student engagement and attendance

• Build inclusive, connected school communities
