Presentation Transcript

Poverty Being poor is different from having a poverty mindset Being poor can change quickly A poverty mindset is seldom changed and usually is systemic in nature What are we doing to reach every student in our schools?

Triage Treat the Person You do not stick a band-aid on a mortal wound In order to stop the bleeding you have to apply pressure In order for it to heal properly you have to fight the infection

Making A Difference The Unexpected You never know who you will impact You never know who will make a difference in a life You never know who will have to take care of you

Discipline Shift What If? We are in a discipline shift in our Country and Local Community. How we will view it? How will we shape and manage it?

Essential Questions Is in-school suspension being used effectively at your school? Is out of school suspension an effective consequence for the students at your school? Is the purpose of your ILR program to keep students at your school and return them back to the classroom eventually?

Essential Questions What interventions does your school use to teach the correct behaviors to students? Who works with your teachers to give them the classroom management tools they need to survive? Who is making contact with the parents or guardians to get them involved in the process?

Data Driven Show me the data Always ask for the data before making decisions Data does not lie Let the data guide your path Lets look at the data from 2015-2016

Set Your Climate Why School Climate because 19,000 students are suspended every day in America s schools; African American students are suspended more than 2 times the rate of Caucasian students; D-Code offenses are the most common cause and the only code that shows a significant disparity.

Set Your Climate Students who are suspended just once are 3 times more likely to have contact with the juvenile justice system. 5 times more likely to drop out of school; & 6 times more likely to repeat a grade. The achievement Gap and Discipline Gap: Two sides of the same coin?

Set Your Climate Suspensions lead to Loss of instructional time, and as a direct result, decreased academic performance; Increased risk for students to repeat misconduct, thereby leading to the school-to-prison pipeline Ramiro Rubalcaba, Principal Azusa High School, PBIS

The Challenge Do you see a park or a wall? Is the risk worth the reward? Are you willing to carry others until they are willing to try themselves?

Take Action Refuse to stop moving Will you continue to not move or will you look for solutions to solve the problem. Action happens one step at a time. How can you get things moving in the right direction at your school?
