What other information would be helpful to you in looking at discipline in the school and classroom? What conclusions can you draw from this data and reading “If any”. What questions do you still have? en-us 2018-02-26 01:52:23 UTC 2018-03-18 20:30:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237194354 Perhaps a little cultural education may not be a bad thing. 

What we may call "insubordination" may not be "insubordination" for all. ]]> 2018-03-01 21:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237194354 douglas_phillips https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237209608 2018-03-01 22:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237209608 https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237269447 It comes down to intergenerational trauma. It was not that long ago, within 1 generation, that people of color were put on a bus to go to a different school in a different part of the city. That’s our students’ parents or grandparents. School, and the entire educational system in which we operate is a white system. Knowing that and having empathy that people of color operate in a state of defense may make us a bit more aware of our own biases. ]]> 2018-03-02 03:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237269447 https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237271312 It comes down to intergenerational trauma. It wasn’t that long ago, within 1 generation, that black students were out on a bus to go to school in a different part of the county. That’s our students’ parents or grandparents experience. School and the educational system in which we work is a white system. The more we realize that and can empathize that students of color are constantly in a defensive state the better we will be to notice our own inherent biases. ]]> 2018-03-02 03:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237271312 https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237690337 2018-03-03 14:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237690337 https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237837645 Behavior at school is likely a reflection of basic needs being met at home. Students in low socioeconomic households are more likely to experience trauma and not receive counseling to learn strategies to cope. I agree that single parent families should be considered in this data because that may play a role in the data appearing to be racially based. Less supervision at home sometimes leads to push-back on a authority figures at school. Parents with less education are not as likely to value education and sometimes communicate these views either directly or indirectly to their children. The data may appear this way, but I believe teachers at Owen are fair and not singling out students based on race. Students are all coming from different places and that is likely manifesting in these behaviors at school. It must be looked at in a more holistic way. ]]> 2018-03-04 19:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/237837645 meredith_harvey https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/242826207 1. Since the majority of referrals are coming from the freshmen class and boys, I wonder if it would be constructive to have freshmen teachers gather to share experiences, and discuss all methods of pro-active relationship-building, expectations, referrals, etc. 
2. I think this data is a good starting point for disparity, however there are many factors at play. One is how connected income/stress are to the category of race. I think as professionals we should all consider our biases and how they may unconsciously affect our decisions. There are some helpful activities created for staff meetings that focus on low income empathy/awareness. 
3. I think to really work on this, staff will have to break into small groups so that we're comfortable discussing the issue, but presenting the data was a great starting point.  ]]> 2018-03-16 14:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/user_1412627773/63bfdcxsjjjz/wish/242826207
