Abstract:
Current reform efforts in the redesign of educational leadership programs in higher education
call for rigorous coursework in management and education. Educational leadership models
that are grounded in principles of restorative justice and peace education, however, are
seldom targeted as part of this reform – although they may significantly enhance student
achievement, communication, relationships, and general satisfaction in a learning community.
This paper offers three brief case studies exploring experiments in educational reform that
have integrated restorative justice principles into higher education and K-12 urban school
district contexts. Data were drawn from a wide range of sources, including surveys, formal
and informal interviews, student achievement scores, and journal entries. Characteristics are
identified that can be integrated into educational leadership programs to promote nonviolence
in learning communities
