Reckoning With Exclusionary School Discipline: Illuminating Cross-National Patterns
Sat, April 26, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3HSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium critically examines the persistent challenge of exclusionary disciplinary practices in the UK and US. The detrimental harms of exclusionary discipline practices are both well-documented and inequitably distributed (Lacoe & Steinberg, 2019; Arcia 2006; Brown 2007; Michail 2011; Noltemeyer and Ward 2015; Skiba et al., 2014; Welsh & Little, 2018). Drawing on comparative research, the session will explore the disproportionality of exclusionary discipline impacting those from low-income, racialized backgrounds, and those with special educational needs; informal and often, hidden forms of exclusion practiced in schools; and the role of the use of official data in efforts to address and repair harms of school exclusion practices in the US and across the UK.
