Sean Schinella
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Georgia
The purpose of this study was to design and implement a Restorative Practice approach to discipline. The challenges of building a positive teacher-student relationship while navigating the demands of zero-tolerance policies have been well documented. Teachers need support and structure to develop and maintain positive teacher-student relationships. Leaders can promote a culture where relationships can flourish. The following thematic findings emerged from the study: 1) Supportive integration; 2) Willingness; 3) Intentionality; and 4) Healing. The findings show that using Restorative Practices to build positive teacher-student relationships provides the structure and support needed for relationships to flourish.
