This workshop is designed to shine a light on the disproportionality in school discipline with students of color and special education students. The purpose of this workshop is to help educators understand the positive impact of creating effective behavior systems in schools that are equitable for ALL students and learn how to use alternatives to suspensions effectively. An alternative discipline overview will be provided using the Don’t Suspend Me! (DSM) framework for designing discipline using restorative, reflective, and instructional methods of supports.
