This session will deep-dive into the “new era” of discipline. Educators are increasingly looking for alternatives to removing students from class or school, new classroom management techniques focusing on supporting all students through mindfulness, social and emotional learning, and restorative justice, and a focus on equity and empathy in all disciplinary decisions. This session will discuss the disparities in discipline amongst students, particularly students with disabilities, and the changing culture of discipline in schools. This session will also discuss how to continue to ensure all students are being supported, and which discipline techniques may accomplish that goal.
