Description
In today’s highly-charged social environment, many school leaders are asking how to ensure equitable discipline procedures for all students. Now, more than ever, schools must work to address bias and to reduce suspensions and referrals. RCD Creator Larry Thompson, M.Ed. and RCD Master Trainer and former principal Brian Dinkins, Ed.D. share specific strategies on how to incorporate a consistent, equitable and easy-to-document approach to discipline. Using the RCD framework, school leaders will see how all students can be treated with respect and dignity while maintaining a productive learning environment.
Designed for educators who are implementing RCD or who have attended an RCD or Defiant Students training sessions, this two-hour Virtual RCD Leadership Institute webinar features a one-hour session with Larry Thompson and Dr. Brian Dinkins as well as a Q&A session addressing struggles with student discipline and classroom management.
