Native America Calling: Native student discipline disparities
Monday, October 16, 2023
Can a different approach solve Native student discipline disparities?
More teachers and administrators are turning to trauma-informed practices in the classroom.
Among other things it prioritizes communication over discipline in certain circumstances, like when students experienced violence, a major accident, or some other significant event that might cause them to act out. It could be among the tools educators use to address the disproportionate percentage of Native American students who are suspended or expelled, which could affect their overall success at school.
