You’ll also get expert advice from school and district leaders who've been there, as well as resource lists that will help you take the next steps.
Take a Sneak Peek Inside the Guide
Dr. Krista Barton, Program Specialist, Support Services, Santa Ana Unified School District, CA, is one of the experts we feature in the guide. Take a peek at what she says about creating alternatives to systems that exclude students:
"Suspending and expelling doesn’t teach the students the correct behaviors. They come back onto campus and they exhibit them again and then they’re excluded again…. We have to put systems in place to prevent the need for suspensions in the first place and to give alternatives to suspension that keep the kids in school with other options for learning correct behavior."
