Podcasts about student discipline

Send us a textAs a first-year principal, I've quickly realized that not everyone interprets calm leadership the same way. Some staff feel that if a student isn't being yelled at, they haven't really been “disciplined.” But I believe in following the handbook, enforcing fair consequences, and creating a culture where discipline is about learning—not fear.In this episode, I'm diving into: ✅ The difference between being calm and being passive ✅ How to reinforce discipline without raising your voice ✅ Ways to help staff see the impact of firm but fair consequences ✅ Why your leadership style sets the tone for school cultureIf you've ever struggled with staff perceptions around student behavior, this episode is for you! Tune in as we unpack how to lead with confidence while staying true to your leadership style.Empowered Educator Skool CommunityCalling All Educators!

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a classroom, attempting to navigate the stormy seas of student behavior? I'm Greg Collins, and in this candid conversation, I'll open up about my own journey through the challenges that every substitute teacher faces. From understanding the nuanced contexts of student language to managing physical confrontations, I share the strategies that have helped me maintain both order and empathy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the trenches of education, as I delve into the art of providing constructive feedback, the intricacies of reporting incidents, and why it's crucial to stay respectful and pragmatic when the classroom feels like a pressure cooker.

Schools whose administrators don’t impose discipline at least three out of every four times requested by a teacher would lose academic standings under a new bill. How does discipline work in public schools now?

Episode 71- Guest Kym Cochran discusses student behavior on campus and how adults can help. We also talk about the role of social media in influencing students, Capturing Kids Hearts and Positive Behavior Interventions.

More teachers and administrators are turning to trauma-informed practices in the classroom. Among other things it prioritizes communication over discipline in certain circumstances, like when students experienced violence, a major accident, or some other significant event that might cause them to act out. It could be among the tools educators use to address the disproportionate percentage of Native America students who are suspended or expelled, which could affect their overall success at school.

During President Obama's second term, the U.S. Education Department began sharing studies indicating that black students were disciplined at higher rates than their white peers. These data were viewed as evidence of racial bias, and, in 2014, the Education and Justice Departments jointly published a resource package to help American schools “…promote fair and effective disciplinary practices that will make schools safe, supportive, and inclusive for all students,” (DOJ). Supporters applauded these steps from the federal government saying they reduced schools' racial disparities in disciplinary decisions thereby curtailing the “school-to-prison pipeline.” Critics countered that the guidance misstated federal civil rights law, encouraged racial discrimination in the allocation of school discipline to produce demographic parity, and left classrooms less functional. The 2014 resource package was ultimately rescinded in 2018 under the Trump Administration, only to be largely restored by the Biden Administration. In May 2023, the Education and Justice Departments published a “Resource on Confronting Racial Discrimination in Student Discipline.”What is the best path forward for appropriate and meaningful disciplinary decision making in American schools? How will our school children be best served? What does the evidence really show about race and school discipline? Please join us as an expert panel discusses the legal and educational contours of the most recent guidance on race and school discipline.

He breaks down how his 3 B's - Balance, Boundaries and Breaks - support making self-care a simple way to build into daily habits. Evan also discusses strategies for engaging families, how leadership at the school and district level can set the tone for social-emotional learning, and how we as educators can build the tools to have difficult conversations with students that are so necessary in navigating today's divisive and complex world. It was an absolute delight to talk with Evan Whitehead, one true Humble Badass in our world of education today.

Student discipline is the main topic on this episode, as Eric and Chris talk with Elementary Principal Ryan Plescia and Director of Student Services Isaac Newman-Gomez.  It's a mirth-filled episode for sure, as we wander off into topics like time travel and cheeseburgers.

Fluer Watson talks through the things Principals should know and do with the new procedures for student discipline.

School discipline has traditionally seen administrators and teachers mete out punishment for inappropriate student behavior. There’s another way advises social and emotional consultant Jim Collin. It relies instead on a social and emotional approach – one that seeks to help adults and students first understand the underlying cause or causes of the disruptive behavior. Central to success is the need to for adults and students to create and operate within a safe, calming space.

Amid the growing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) crisis, schools and educators are under increased pressure to adapt to the new normals of distance learning while complying with changing regulations. In this episode of the "Legal Lowdown Podcast", Jaime Fernand discusses how charter schools can prepare and respond to student discipline issues that may occur in an online setting.

STUDENT will give his best effort in all of his subjects every day. That subjective condition-statement was extracted from a school district's boilerplate one-page abeyance agreement. It's codified by the district's school board policy. With suspensions racing to extinction, this is in the new embodiment of student discipline and it's not just a second chance to follow the rules. WHAT IS AN ABEYANCE AGREEMENT (AA). In public schools, an AA sets forth the conditions under which the school agrees to not impose discipline (detention/suspension/expulsion). AA is a practice wrangled from the legal system (not from education policy) where it's often associated with a plea deal. AAs are also referred to as pre-expulsion agreements or a first offenders program. PURPOSE OF AN AA. School leaders champion AA's as a tool of discretion that offers a second chance for students who have violated the code of student conduct. However, implicit functions of the AA include: (a) having a conclusive action to an investigation; (b) avoiding creation of a reportable data as AAs are not reported to local, state Department of Public Instruction, or federal agencies; (c) avoid convening the IEP team if the child has a disability (to discuss services and placement); and (d) shield the school board from an abrasive student expulsion. WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF AN AA? A Google search will surface countless AA templates - some as short as a page. AAs include, (a) period of time that the AA is in effect - often a semester; (b) attendance requirements; (c) requirement that the student follow the school rules; (d) statement that the student will give his/her “best effort” in school; and (e) signatures by student, parent and school administrator. Many include the following clause, “By executing this agreement the undersigned acknowledges that they voluntarily and without any undue influence agree to waive their right to appeal.” ...That last sentence. Yep, an AA is a slight-of-hand maneuver that separates students from their right of due process. IS AN AA REPORTED TO THE STATE OR FED? There is no requirement that an AA be reported to a school board, state department of instruction or federal department of education. In fact, most AAs are expunged from school databases after they expire unlike school suspensions and expulsions which must be reported to state and federal government. FIVE INCENTIVES TO ENTER INTO AN AA. Reasons that drive AAs: (1) keeps the district's actions “off the books.” (2) has FERPA (privacy) shield; (3) if a student has a disability, or might have a disability that hasn't been diagnosed, an IEP team would be convened to hold a manifestation determination and consider services and placement. AA might preclude convening the IEP; (4) simple and quick; (5) parents go along with them most of the time because an AA leverages the positionality (perceived power) of the school. The school often includes its lawyer to craft the AA or be present at the meeting with parents. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PERSUASION: WHY PARENTS ALWAYS AGREE TO AN AA. A parent might be intimidated by the school (as it is a powerful government institution) or overwhelmed by school authorities with advanced degrees and initials after their names. In these instances, parents perceive the AA as a “gift” from the school and sign it to bring the matter to a close and clean their child's record. Other times, parents believe they pressured the school into making a deal due to their status in the community or making it known that they could unleash a “complaint campaign” or bring advocates to meetings. Regardless of the parents' perception of why they are being offered the AA, the school gets what it wants - the signed AA. SIX SHORTCOMINGS OF AAs. (1) no oversight, efficacy research or reporting requirement; (2) less incentive for exhaustive investigation; (3) low threshold to fulfill the AA / no learning objectives; (4) privacy law keeps them secret; (5) denies due process to students [with disabilities]; (6) destroys a student record that might reveal a skill deficit, pattern of behavior or even bring light upon a systemic practice of institutional bias.

Over five years, the Pinellas County, Florida, school district has seen the number of student disciplinary actions drop by almost half. You might think that means kids are behaving better, and schools are running more smoothly. District leaders like to credit the decline to new programs aimed at dealing with problems before they get out of control. But some teachers say that's not necessarily what's happening. Hear Tampa Bay Times reporter Megan Reeves discuss with Jeff Solochek what she learned while looking into the numbers. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On March 22, the United States Department of Justice announced an historic settlement with the school district of Meridian, Mississippi, that seeks to end the disproportionate exclusion of black children from school for disciplinary infractions and the arrest of black students for minor offenses. Our guests, Ryan Wilson and Zoe Savitsky, are the Department of Justice trial attorneys (and my former colleagues) who investigated complaints of discriminatory student discipline in the district, litigated the case before the court, and negotiated the terms of the incredibly comprehensive agreement with the school district. They will talk to us about the terms of the agreement and explain what this means for Meridian students and students all over the nation. Host, Allison R. Brown, is a civil rights attorney and owner of Allison Brown Consulting (ABC).

Do police in schools contribute to a "school-to-prison pipeline"?  Does it have to be that way?  Join us for a candid discussion with Mr. Mo Canady, the Executive Director of the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO).  We'll discuss if and when police presence is necessary in schools and how school resource officers can be community liaisons and models for children rather than a law enforcement extension of punitive school discipline measures. * - In light of Friday's horrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, this episode has been extended to last one hour rather than 30 minutes and we will be taking questions from callers.
