What are Restorative Discipline Practices and how is it used in schools?
Restorative Discipline Practices was developed for use in schools for the State of Texas by the UT school of social work and Dr. Gaye Lang with Texas Education Agency. There are many things that go into making practices "restorative". Here are a few short videos to learn more about this important practice and how it can improve classroom and campus climate and culture, improve discipline and behavior.
Marilyn Armour, Ph.D., defines restorative discipline as a relational approach to building
school climate and addressing student behavior.
The approach fosters belonging over exclusion, social engagement over control,
and meaningful accountability over punishment.

In 2021-2022, RDP was added to services students in ISS at CHS and those attending at High Point receive once per week. Students seemed to enjoy the Circle conversations and participated well. When students returned to their home campus, Circles were offered weekly to check in with them and give students support and to build community.
