Session Summary

Where Are We Now? School Discipline Policy and Practice in the Nation's Most Populous State

Mon, April 20, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The small gains achieved in schools in recent years to resist zero-tolerance policies, punishment, and school policing are at risk as federal education policy and rhetoric increasingly emphasize social control, force, and exclusion. This symposium examines the state of school discipline policies and practices in California schools through a timely analysis of federal and state policy, extensive research from 27 schools in 13 districts, and efforts to institutionalize cutting-edge practices through university-community partnerships. Facilitated small-group discussions will build on presented research findings to consider: What can and should educators, activists, and researchers do at the local, regional, and state levels to build on present gains and combat backlash?
