Restorative Measures
Minnesota Department of Education helps schools develop programming, curricula and intervention practices to create safe schools by teaching social skills, building positive school climate and repairing harm when it happens. Restorative measures are discipline interventions to hold student accountable for harm and address the needs of students or staff harmed and the needs of the school community. The * American Psychological Association recommends the use of restorative measures to reduce suspensions and expulsions in its 2006 report, “Are Zero Tolerance Policies Effective? An Evidentiary Review and Recommendations”
