    A1 I'm sure it's been discussed but at a level above my pay grade. I don't recall hearing about it specifically, though. #oklaed
  • watersenglish Apr 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: We haven't discussed this, but I have been reading & researching, including the article linked earlier, on my own time. #oklaed
  • ClaudiaSwisher Apr 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 -- honestly, I've only heard it used as a weapon against #oklaed. Time to take the term back with discussion and solutions.
  • allen_lehman Apr 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Never directly, as I have usually worked with 7th to about 10th graders. It can come up in class anecdotally tho. #oklaed
  • bakerleft Apr 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1b: I have found that Ts being interested in learning and actually making changes in their classrooms are two different things. #oklaed
  • sulphurmiddle Apr 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1. I have never heard this discussed at Sulphur. Hopefully we can learn tonight how to start the conversation. #oklaed

      A1: Led a session on StPP during a district day of PD a couple of years ago. Room was packed. People want to know!
  • mrsmcreading Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Like so many big issues in a big district, it's hard to say whether it's been discussed or not. I hope so, but not to teachers. #oklaed
    • krystalgr80 Apr 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT
      Thank you for the introductions! Looks like we have a full house! Let's get to it! #oklaed

  • thestephhinton Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    a1) I think it is really important that we start having PD on this, educators at all levels need to be aware #oklaed
  • lsmellott Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    #oklaed A1: That topic has not been discussed at my school. I would like to know more about this topic.
  • lindahaslerreid Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1 Not enough! How can we miss the correlation between #50 in ed spending; #2 in nation in incarceration rate (or are we #1 now?) #oklaed

  • KatieL9012 Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    She must not miss me too much since she blocked me on facebook! #oklaed
  • jlreed2011 Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1) There are discussions throughout the year, usually with a focus on discipline and attendance more than rigor of academics. #oklaed
  • ClaudiaSwisher Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    I want to know more...resources, ideas. Thanks. #oklaed
    In reply to @bakerleft

    A2 I haven't heard it discussed, but we can't ignore the realities of the world we live in.#oklaed
  • jasonbengs Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1 It is something that is on the hearts of many Ts especially in low socio-econ schools #oklaed
  • TammiOsteen1 Apr 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1 I have never had this discussion or heard of anyone in my district addressing it. #oklaed

  • kennethdward Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1 seems the convo is limited to that S we all knew was headed that direction but we were unable to change their trajectory. #oklaed

    A1 As a district, we are focused on equity, so it comes up in those conversations. #oklaed

    A1: I haven't heard of any discussions. #oklaed
  • MrsBeck25 - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Great Ts know their Ss and see those patterns but in my experience, it hasn't been a direct convo from the top #oklaed
  • ShelbyJr3 Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: literally the first I've heard of this and I'm intrigued #oklaed
    • krystalgr80 Apr 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT
      Thank you for the introductions! Looks like we have a full house! Let's get to it! #oklaed
  • MPSTechnology Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Not specifically. I think most districts have a good grasp of common sense to properly interpret "zero tolerance." #oklaed
  • ClaudiaSwisher Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1 -- Closest was the day officers arrested my S in my classroom...handcuffed him & left. Shook us all up. #oklaed
  • KimberBlodgett Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: I've had Ss tell me how they sneak drugs into prison to relatives so Elem is the PERFECT time to discuss this. #oklaed
  • DrTerriC Apr 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    I was talking to a former student with law enforcement ties & they talked about former students arrested #oklaed #sad

  • ECHSHoward Apr 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1) We implemented a new program this year that drastically reduced suspensions b/c keeping Ss in school keeps them out of jail #oklaed
    • krystalgr80 Apr 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT
      Thank you for the introductions! Looks like we have a full house! Let's get to it! #oklaed
  • krystalgr80 Apr 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    I think it's significant (and frustrating) that a lot of schools are not having this conversation given the incarceration rate. #oklaed
  • djthoreson Apr 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1b) Haven't heard anything, but several of my Ss have P or relatives in jail #oklaed

    Heartbreaking how often you see former students in jailbirds #oklaed

    Sorry to be tardy. These guys distracted me #oklaed
  • kennethdward Apr 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1 there are many convo's about these S's & this issue, we just typically speak of breaking the cycle not necessarily prison. #oklaed
  • lindahaslerreid Apr 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1b We often see which Ss are in jeopardy even in 5/6 grade. Have had Ss tell me the dealers r working to get them into the biz #oklaed

    A2 I don't know enough about the topic....but on the education side, more one-on-one mentoring programs might help? #oklaed
  • camidellinger Apr 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1-I have not heard this discussed directly. #oklaed
  • FunstonWM Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    #oklaed A1) i hope we continue momentum of judicial reform & partner w/ other agencies to tackle comprehensive reform in OK
  • MrsBeck25 - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Exactly. Prime example of why Ts are very important in order to break the pattern. #OklaEd
    • djthoreson Apr 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT
      A1b) Haven't heard anything, but several of my Ss have P or relatives in jail #oklaed
  • ClaudiaSwisher Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT

  • kasnelson Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1: We've not discussed it at my school. In fact, I'll be soaking up the info from the chat & learning tonight. #oklaed
  • bridgestyler Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: Poverty, lack of support services for Ss at risk, lack of intervention services for academic needs, lack of proper mentors. #oklaed
  • coach57 Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Looking at statistics the vast majority of prisoners are considered illiterate and most who graduate illiterate end up in prison #oklaed
  • TurnerJoshuaD Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2) Personaly I think not much to do with schools. I think it has a lot to do with lack of sustainable jobs and high poverty rate. #oklaed
  • kennethdward Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2 we have to find ways to make a connection & show these S's a better way. Very hard because the other influences are powerful. #oklaed
  • jlreed2011 Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2) IMO the key factors are the disconnect of school curriculum to student learning, too much focus on testing, and less voc ed #oklaed
  • JanalynTaylor Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    #oklaed A2 Poverty seems to be a big factor. It effects so many areas of students' lives.
  • SteveMaier_ Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2 Goal setting and Ss agency/vision to see themselves succeed are key #oklaed
  • watersenglish Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT

    Bingo! We all contribute when we can't find resources and mentors. #wearealltoblame #oklaed
    • bridgestyler Apr 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT
      A2: Poverty, lack of support services for Ss at risk, lack of intervention services for academic needs, lack of proper mentors. #oklaed
  • djthoreson Apr 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Family history, socio-economic issues, no other options expected, no mentors #oklaed
  • KimberBlodgett Apr 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: it starts with relationships with our Ss. And expectations. Conversations about how they can do more and be more. #oklaed
  • collums_dawn Apr 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2) Schools are not addressing the social supports these kids need, trauma, health (mental and Physical ) needs ! #oklaed

    A2 Relationships and wrap around services are key. Poverty and dysfunctional families are hard to work against. #oklaed
  • jefferson_first Apr 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2) suspensions, expulsions, lack of mentors, lack of consistency with consequences amongst diff pops of students. #oklaed
  • lindahaslerreid Apr 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: Family legacy, lack of belief they can do better, lack of role models who invest in them inside and outside school #oklaed

    A2 I need 2 learn more...but I would say building positive relationships, addressing needs of Ss, providing meaningful ed experience,#oklaed

    A2) lack of resources/funding, quality educational experiences, mentorships, poverty, cycle #oklaed

    A5. It boils down to fear. Have to unlearn all the stereotypes and things we think we've learned about races. #oklaed

    From page 8 of trauma-informed practices in schools report: #oklaed
  • ClaudiaSwisher Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A true systemic solution: All adults in a school contribute to the well-being of all Ss. #oklaed
    • watersenglish Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
      I think ALL Ts and staff should be dedicated to serve as safety nets for ALL our Ss. #oklaed

    I would suggest understanding and researching the systemic racial issues that plague society that exist in our schools. #OklaEd
  • room20awesome Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A7b If Ss are not following procedures I feel it's my job to understand why and help them get on track. #oklaed
  • mrsaj4 Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    I have heard TS complain from districts implementing,while suspensions are down, behaviors not necessarily changed and TS miserable #oklaed
  • djthoreson Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    Interesting. Why does it have to be race? It can also be socio-economic differences, too. #oklaed

  • mrterborg Apr 9 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    The reasons why matter. There still may be consequences but I'd lighten them if the student explains and tells truth. #oklaed

    Sometimes simply listening can make such a diff. Thought I'd share this 2 Min. Timeout for Ts https://t.co/DBKIBqUENo #oklaed
  • allen_lehman Apr 9 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    That is definitely a legit question. In the context of my previous tweet…Ss are individuals and should be treated as such. #oklaed
    • ShelbyJr3 Apr 9 @ 9:54 PM EDT
      Real question, how do we explain to our students that fair isn't equal? How did X get suspended for this when Y didn't? #oklaed

    WE have to work together to build this next from day 1. Waiting till middle/high school may be too late... #oklaed

    Had sobering convo w/ @drjohnthompson on how institutions get in the way of kids' best interests in #oklaed. Such failure by us "adults".
  • jmyersnps Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    I remember walking a PK-1 school & 👀a mug shot of a dad on my-dad brd, hit home right there that not all have a level playing field #OklaEd
  • ShanaVWhite Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    Wow......interesting take. What efforts have been made to speak to Ps? Are they welcome in your class? Do Ss feel safe? #oklaed

    A7) not that I'm aware but start w educating myself more on this model- then I'll begin w class, school, district (in that order) #oklaed
  • ClaudiaSwisher Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    @ShelbyJr3 And...do we want equality or equity? Legit question to pose, I think. #oklaed

    Agreed, it definitely is too late! #oklaed

    Too many are black & white. Restorative justice means craziness & zero tolerance = order & peace. #oklaed
  • amybbednarz Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    I think scaring kids into compliance really causes more distrust and doesn't change behaviors #oklaed
    In reply to @mcappsparks
  • allen_lehman Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    @ShelbyJr3 Are you advocating for one-size-fits-all zero-tolerance policies? Real question… #oklaed
  • thestephhinton Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    Wow, such great conversation @krystalgr80 Thank you! #oklaed
  • ShanaVWhite Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    Any #educolor fam or #sojustedu folks want to pop into the #oklaed chat??? Interesting convo happening here.....

  • mrsaj4 Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    I am sure true..but when facing limited faculty & resources I fear many are done wrong & will turn TS away from process #oklaed

    A reminder of why #oklaed matters. Public education is worth fighting for. "The Need to Play On" https://t.co/1NBEcqOSsd
