Restorative Practices in schools can help create a positive, respectful, and inclusive environment by building relationships and repairing harm. They can also help students develop social and emotional skills, such as empathy, self-discipline, and decision-making skills. Restorative practices can also help students understand the consequences of their actions and be more accountable in the future. 

Restorative practices are based on Indigenous principles and the belief that people are worthy and relational, and that relationships need to be built, maintained, and repaired. They can be used to address behavioral issues in an intentional, respectful, and inclusive way. Restorative practices can help resolve conflict without relying on punitive discipline, and instead emphasize communication. They can also help students prioritize their agency and take an active role in the conflict resolution process.
