“Mediation makes up a large core of the book, but it addresses other modalities as well. These strategies include creating a growth mindset, teaching mindfulness so that students are better able to process their difficult emotions, and using data to track student behaviors and avoid recidivism. But at its center, restorative justice is about replacing punitive discipline with relationship-based solutions.”

“A new movement in disciplinary style, called restorative discipline, was bursting onto the national scene, which added new complexity to the trauma-informed picture where the movements intersected. At the same time, laws passed at the state and federal levels encouraged or outright required local districts to adopt trauma-informed practices. And the Office of Civil Rights, a subsidiary of the U.S. Department of Education, adopted a much more aggressive stance towards schools deemed out of compliance with federal discrimination laws, embarking on a campaign of lawsuits to correct what it saw as discriminatory practices in many districts.”
