The U.S. Department of Education (ED), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), today released a school discipline guidance package that will assist states, districts and schools in developing practices and strategies to enhance school climate, and ensure those policies and practices comply with federal law. Even though incidents of school violence have decreased overall, too many schools are still struggling to create positive, safe environments. Schools can improve safety by making sure that climates are welcoming and that responses to misbehavior are fair, non-discriminatory and effective. Each year, significant numbers of students miss class due to suspensions and expulsions—even for minor infractions of school rules—and students of color and with disabilities are disproportionately impacted. The guidance package provides resources for creating safe and positive school climates, which are essential for boosting student academic success and closing achievement gaps.

What:
Training for school teams from schools which have already received basic RtI training through local, regional or state projects. At this training school teams will be using school wide data to assess the effectiveness of school intervention efforts. Using student outcome performance data as well as process evidence and indicators to determine the school's current status in implementing RtI. Using information to develop action steps for each participating school to enhance and improve their RtI implementation. To receive maximum benefit from this training, participants need to bring school wide benchmark data for at least the current school year and, if possible, prior years as well.
