Positive School Discipline Institute’s Future Educators’ Conference: Creating a Foundation for Culturally- Responsive, Trauma-Informed Teaching Practices 

The Children’s Policy and Law Initiative (CPLI) invites students and faculty to our Positive School Discipline Institute’s Future Educators’ Conference:  Creating a Foundation for Culturally-Responsive, Trauma-Informed Teaching Practices.   This free and very interactive event will offer a unique learning experience for our future teachers, counselors, social workers, nurses, psychologists and others impacting our K-12 students.  Further, it will provide an opportunity to start a new semester with a fresh perspective and lens for the future.  Conference Topics include (1) understanding the juvenile justice system and the impact of educator referrals; 2) reforming exclusionary school discipline to end the school-to-prison pipeline; 3) implementing effective classroom management strategies and alternatives to school suspensions; 4) regulation and de-escalation skills for school personnel and students; 5) engaging students and their families through a culturally-responsive, trauma-informed lens; and 6) working with school staff to prevent and/or intervene in classroom crisis to avoid school-based arrest.
