Abstract
This qualitative research seeks to gather information that will be useful for successfully implementing Restorative Practices from Minnesota elementary school principals. Elementary Principals have been interviewed to share their experiences with implementing Restorative Practices. It specifically focuses on identifying the successes and challenges, particularly in efforts to reduce racial disparities in discipline data.The study also examines how principals apply these practices in their elementary schools to create caring communities. Restorative Practices have emerged as more schools and states move towards non exclusionary discipline practices to better support students and build caring school communities. This research seeks to provide insights into leadership strategies that foster inclusive and restorative school communities.
