This event is open only to teachers and school counselors (pre-service and in-service) and other school faculty.
Wednesday, April 12th 2017, from 2-5pm, at VCU's Cabell Library (901 Park Avenue, Richmond VA), VCU's School of Education, ART 180, and Performing Statistics are holding a workshop for educators on school discipline and the school-to-prison pipeline. From the event description:
"The event brings youth from Richmond’s Juvenile Detention Center into dialogue with participants around the pressing issue of school discipline and the school-to-prison pipeline. Free curricula and other resources will be provided. The workshop has three acts. In Act One, youth, serving as docents, will provide guided tours through a gallery of art that they created to illumine their experiences with school discipline and the criminal justice system. Act Two consists of a dialogue with a panel of educators and counselors, as well as a school resource officer, a legal advocate, and a parent. In Act Three, art educators will introduce Performing Statistics’ digital curriculum that teachers can implement in their classrooms.
The event will conclude with a sharing of resources and next steps for addressing things such as classroom management, school discipline, alternatives to suspension and expulsion, and creating a positive school climate."
The event is free, but there are only 50 seats and you must register. Teachers, counselors, and other school staff only. If you have questions, contact Bill Muth at wrmuth@vcu.edu.
