This week on the 8 with 8 podcast:
Rethinking School Discipline
|
|
Check out the first episode of our new season, where we’ll focus on the many ways that PBIS connects to and strengthens the rest of educational practice. This week, SST8's Frank Gant and Mike Kaschak kick us off with one of the most obvious - but also one of the most consequential - connections: school discipline. More and more districts are realizing the unintended consequences of disciplinary removals - those times when students are removed from the educational environment - and looking to PBIS as a way to shift educators’ energies to teaching and encouraging desired behavior.

Strategies for De-Escalating Student Behavior |
The Center on PBIS has released a brief that provides practical, research-based strategies educators can use to de-escalate challenging student behavior in the classroom. Despite the development of supportive, safe, and predictable school environments, students may, at times, become agitated, and their behavior may escalate to unsafe levels. With some advance planning, educators can reduce reliance on reactive strategies, such as punitive or exclusionary practices (e.g., restraint, seclusion, suspension, expulsion) in favor of safer, more instructive, and inclusive approaches.
