Adult Perceptions of Restorative Practices in a Rural Secondary School
Andersen, Kimberly P.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Cabrini University
Most schools have a code of conduct that guides their expectations for student behaviors. While schools' policies around discipline are believed to help deter further negative behavioral incidents, restorative practices is a field of study that strives to proactively build community and social coherence rather than exclusionary consequences (Clynes, 2012). This case study examined restorative practices in a rural secondary school. This study focused on the perceptions, beliefs, and experiences of school adults including parents/guardians. Additionally, this study shared the restorative practices that were implemented at this rural secondary school. Key themes that arose from the perceptions, beliefs, and experiences of the adults were: the importance of relationships and a sense of community among students and staff, restorative practices are an improvement over in-school and out-of-school suspensions, restorative practices impact communication, and the barriers to restorative practices. The participants also shared how restorative practices were implemented at this specific location. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
