Event Date Mar 07, 2017
What is your district doing to proactively minimize the number of suspensions leading to expulsions and to ensure that students of color are not disproportionately represented in the expulsion data? This training will examine common institutional practices that perpetuate the disproportionate discipline of students of color. Participants will have the opportunity to examine national and state discipline data, disaggregated by race, and use it as a starting point to begin an open and honest discussion about the role race plays in disciplinary actions. Participants will also be shown examples of model practices that have resulted in a reduction in the number of disciplinary referrals and increased academic achievement for students of color. The trainer will discuss ways to minimize the potential disparate disciplinary treatment of students based on race.
