School suspension is one of the leading contributors to the nation’s alarming high school dropout rate. What’s more, Education Department data shows students with disabilities are almost twice as likely to be suspended as their nondisabled peers, with Black children with disabilities facing the highest suspension rates. Such statistics are of particular concern as schools increasingly serve dangerous and at-risk students.

Get guidance directly from an experienced social-emotional learning and mental health consultant. Dr. Charlene Myklebust will identify creative and effective alternatives to suspension you can implement right away to address discipline – ultimately leading to increased graduation rates and improved school climate.

You and your staff will learn:

  • Which racial, gender and special education disparities exist
    among students who are suspended
  • The unintended negative outcomes suspension can have on
    special student populations
  • Reasons suspensions prove ineffective for reducing problem behavior and handling discipline/li>
  • Ways to foster behavioral skill acquisition and positive
    relationship-building among students
  • Limited situations where suspension can prove an effective intervention
  • Social-emotional learning strategies that can help address
    and prevent problem behavior
