Dr. Anne Gregory, Ph.D.
Rutgers University Graduate School Applied & Professional Psychology
Dr. Gregory discusses the beginning stages of implementing restorative justice practices. She shares her insights on best-practices for engaging stakeholders, increasing buy-in, and developing a multi-year strategy.
School leaders are a foundational component in initiating non-traditional discipline. Restorative justice is one evidence-based approach that can assist administrators in shifting paradigms from exclusionary discipline to student-centered practices.
Scholars suggest culturally responsive leadership as an alternative to color-blind discipline. This equity-based practice diversifies staffing and cultivates color-conscious teachers, counselors, and administrators to decrease educational inequities.
Reflective Questions:
What values are driving discipline practices?
Who are the key players and stakeholders?
What discipline practices propel harm?
How can you begin to shift?
