Restorative practices include a variety of different specific practices. A substantial number of studies that have been conducted on these practices, and the research has shown positive results. This framework and these practices have been used in a variety of settings including schools.

To implement, schools must assess what their needs are, implement the philosophy , and then choose the specific practices that best fits those needs.
