The use of restorative practices to address college student behavior is a growing trend, but one about which few studies exist. While literature suggests how implementation of restorative practices can happen in the K-12 education setting, little is known about how student conduct practitioners should go about modifying their practices, policies, and procedures from a traditional approach to student discipline to a restorative one. This qualitative multiple case study explored how three large, public institutions of higher education implemented restorative practices within their student disciplinary processes including the process, timeline, and factors that influenced that implementation. The data revealed that practitioners made small, iterative changes using five primary steps; discerning motivation, restoratively building stakeholder buy-in, clarifying details, starting change, and sustaining change. The repeated use of these efforts led to an institutional cultural shift of utilizing restorative approaches. Changes had to take place over the course of time, yet not specific timeline for implementation emerged in the data. Based on the data, a Restorative Implementation Theory (Figure 1) was developed which hypothesizes how practitioners at other institutions of higher education may successfully implement restorative practices within their student disciplinary processes. This model emphasizes the intertwined and interdependent nature of each step which collectively work to create culture change. In turn, the culture change serves to support further change. Additional research must be conducted to understand the effectiveness of the use of restorative practices to address college student behavior as well as the applicability of the developed theory model at other institutions as well as in other circumstances.
