Abstract:
Conflicts between peers are inevitable in schools, and schools must be equipped with strategies
to assist students in avoiding conflicts and engaging in problem-solving when conflicts occur.
Restorative practices and other conflict resolution interventions such as peer mediation are
gaining popularity, particularly as an alternate framework to the overutilization of disciplinary
punishment with ethnic minority students. This chapter discusses the effective use of restorative
practices and conflict resolution interventions, with an emphasis on establishing these types of
practices in schools using best practices.
