Restorative Practices in Baltimore City Schools: Research Updates and Implementation Guide
Get PDFBaltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) and other school districts across the United States are implementing restorative practices (RP) to improve school climate by building meaningful relationships in school communities, reframing school discipline, and supporting student safety, well-being, and success. This transformational approach centers student voice and agency, and enhances students’ engagement and participation in their own learning. The Center for Dispute Resolution at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law and Open Society Institute – Baltimore (OSI) collaborated to create The Restorative Practices in Baltimore City Public Schools: Research Updates and Implementation Guide. The purpose of the report is to:
Consolidate existing work describing the use of RP in public schools in Baltimore, across Maryland, and in other parts of the country;
Evaluate progress made by Baltimore City in early implementation of its district-wide restorative practices initiative;
Help other districts across the country learn from Baltimore’s successes and challenges and provide a blueprint to follow as they implement restorative practices in their own unique contexts
Women, Democracy, and the Nineteenth Amendment
Get PDFThis paper explores the status of women’s participation in our democracy, in response to both the commemoration of the Nineteenth Amendment’s centennial and the deep misogyny aimed at women holding formal political power during the current pandemic. The paper explores the connection between constitutional design and the level of women\u27s participation in democratic governance. It suggests that the robust participation of women in our democracy is not only morally right, but that such parity is central to both the legitimacy of the state and its continued existence. The paper begins by describing the state of women’s participation in formal and informal governance in our democracy as less than robust. It then identifies legislative, regulatory and judicial mechanisms that could be used to enhance that participation. Such an approach better comports with a “thick” understanding of the Nineteenth Amendment as a commitment to women\u27s equal participation in all forms of democratic governance, rather than simply the vote
