▼ Recently, a great deal of attention has been paid to the disproportionate incarceration of people of color, and the role schools play in perpetuating this pattern. This phenomenon, known as “the school-to-prison pipeline,” is characterized by school actions and policies which significantly increase a student’s likelihood of becoming involved in the criminal justice system. Students of color, particularly African American males, are more likely to be referred for school discipline than their white and Asian peers. This has led to a significant decrease in these students’ edification and academic achievement opportunities. Research has explored how teacher bias toward, and perceptions of, students of color influence their use of discipline referrals. This research aimed to gain a deeper understanding of teacher’s use of discipline by investigating pre-service teachers’ beliefs about discipline and their control versus autonomous orientations in the classrooms, and how these factors impact the use of discipline referrals.

▼ There is a myriad of data regarding racism, criminal justice, and the
school-to-
prison pipeline, however more insight is needed to better understand the relationships between these phenomena. This research study explores the following: 1) how do
school social workers understand anti-blackness and the
school-to-
prison pipeline; 2) what factors do
school social workers believe contribute to the
school-to-
prison pipeline: 3) what are the experiences of
school social workers in dealing with anti-blackness in education. These questions were explored through an in-depth literature review and eight qualitative interviews with social workers engaged with the Sacramento region public education system. Research participants were recruited via snowball sampling. In addition, this research utilized two theoretical approaches to guide research analysis and the review of relevant literature. The prominent themes, which emerged from interviews, reflected an overwhelming need for changes in
school discipline policies and procedures to reduce the pervasiveness of anti-black practices in education. The implications of this research can affect future policy directions and social work practice.

▼ The
school to
prison pipeline is the problematic phenomenon of funneling children out of schools and into the
prison system. The Council of State Governments in 2011 found that students who are suspended or expelled are almost three times as likely to have contact with the juvenile justice system (Fight Crime: Invest in Kids , 2012). Teen Court of Humboldt County Seeks to understand this trend on a local level by gaining insight into the opinions held by the faculty at five middle schools. This project will administer a survey and collect results that will be presented to Teen Court for future research. This study found that the majority of participants surveyed believe that zero tolerance is unfair and ineffective in deterring future misbehavior. This research will be used by Teen Court to further assist them in their goal of demolishing the
school to
prison pipeline on a local level.

▼ The United States has experienced a dramatic growth and recent stabilization in incarceration rates. Within the past 40 years, the
prison population increased five-fold. Today, the rate of incarceration in America surpasses that of any other nation in the world. The larger problem is that the distribution of criminal justice involvement is not random across individuals in the United States. This three-paper dissertation investigates
school discipline as source of disproportionately high rates of incarceration and poor mental health as a subsequent outcome of criminal justice involvement.
Data for Paper 1 and Paper 2 come from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 Cohort. Paper 1 explores the relationship between suspension from primary and secondary
school and later chances of incarceration. In this paper, I find support for the
school-to-
prison pipeline; that being suspended increases odds of incarceration as a young adult but only for Black and White males. Paper 2 examines the link between having an arrest history during youth and adolescence and depressive symptoms as a young adult. I find that the stress of being arrested proliferates through alcohol use and self-rated health to increase depressive symptomatology uniquely according to race and gender. Paper 3 explores a racial/ethnic group identity as a source of racial/ethnic heterogeneity in the relationship between arrest history and mental health. Racial/ethnic group identity appears to moderate this relationship such that only individuals who have not been arrested benefit from the protective effect of having a strong racial/ethnic identity. However, this finding was true for African Americans and Whites but not Caribbean Blacks.
This dissertation demonstrates that schools are a contributor to the mass incarceration problem in America and its concentration among Black males. The findings also suggest that becoming involved with the criminal justice system diminishes well-being. By investigating the relationships among
school discipline, criminal justice involvement, and mental health among a relatively young sample, this work contributes to a mounting conversation on the harm of the American criminal justice system.

▼ Juvenile delinquency and education are a
subject that lacks streamlined research for many reasons. According to a report by Sawyer and Wagner (2020) of the
Prison Policy Initiative, each institution and system collects its own data for its own purposes. Data may not be consistent with data coming from other systems, so some individuals may be counted more than once or not at all. Culminating research is difficult for this reason, and therefore, not much reliable data on the system as a whole is available. The lack of streamlined data is problematic in evaluating what impact incarceration has had on children. There are common experiences and factors of those who struggle with literacy and find themselves involved in the criminal justice system, especially at a young age. The field as a whole is lacking in research of educational factors, especially specific areas such as literacy.
Data was collected through a survey that utilized both qualitative and quantitative items. Participants were recruited through a snowball method and posters placed strategically around Sacramento, California. Qualifying for participation in this survey required individuals to be over the age of 18 years old and to have been previously incarcerated. I collected 16 responses to my survey and reported them as descriptive statistics.
It is clear that there is not just one reason that students who struggle academically often find themselves involved in the criminal justice system. There are many factors, including access, attitudes, and experiences with
school, and more specifically, reading. Other findings from this research included an overrepresentation of minority juveniles in the justice system and lack of access to books. Consistent with other studies, this research found that many individuals who were once involved in the justice system struggled in
school, had a difficult time with reading, and some were even told they had a learning disability. The education policies currently in place have let down some of the most vulnerable populations in our nation. There is much work to be done in all areas involved including education, juvenile justice,
prison reform, and family literacy.

▼ Background/Problem Statement: National data shows the use of exclusionary discipline causes disproportionality and overrepresentation in
school discipline. Research shows that African Americans, Hispanics, and students with disabilities have been placed in Discipline Alternative Education Programs (DAEPs) at higher rates than other student subgroups. Purpose/Research: The study examined the rates and trends of placement into DAEPs over a 5-year period for African American and Hispanic students, students with disabilities, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in the state of Texas and in Region 4. Specifically, the study addressed the following research questions, (1) What is the rate of placement into a DAEP for subgroups of students based on race/ethnicity, special education eligibility, and socioeconomic status in Texas and Region 4 from 2013 to 2018?; (2) What is the rate of referrals for discretionary versus mandatory placements into a DAEP for these same subgroups of students in Texas and Region 4?; and (3) What is the rate of placement into a DAEP, both mandatory and discretionary, by race/ethnicity within Region 4’s five largest (ISDs) from 2017–2018?. Methods: This study was quantitative and relied on a descriptive research design to analyze variables of interest. Data was retrieved electronically from Texas Education Agency (TEA) and examined discipline practices across race/ethnicity, disability, and/or social economic status. These analyses were conducted using historical data in Texas, Region 4, and within Region 4’s five largest (ISDs). The sample period was from 2013 to 2018 and the population of students included all students placed into a DAEP setting in the public-
school system in Texas, Region 4, and within Region 4’s five largest (ISDs), for a period of one year, 2017–2018. Results: Overall DAEP percentages show that African Americans, students with disabilities, and students from low-SES backgrounds were over-represented as students assigned to DAEP. African American students had higher percentages of discretionary referrals and lower percentages of mandatory referrals in comparison to overall TX and Region 4 data and compared to other subgroups. In Region 4’s largest ISDs, district data suggested that African American students were overrepresented and White students were underrepresented in DAEP placements. Conclusion: Results provide evidence of disproportionate representation of specific subgroups of students based on race/ethnicity, disability status, and SES, within the sample of students referred for DAEP. The results point towards a need to explore the rational regarding student referrals to DAEP, including discretionary placements for African American students. These results point to a critical need to understand the negative impact DAEP placements can have on important student outcomes such as achievement, graduation, state testing scores, and the social phenomenon of the
school to
prison pipeline. Additional research on exclusionary discipline beyond TX is warranted to better…

▼ Background: Stakeholders in the educational community have many tools that can lower
school suspension rates and disrupt the
school-to-
prison pipeline. Methods and resources require
school leadership creating campus buy in, student engagement, creating a class management system, creating a rapport with the campus police officer, and creating engaged classrooms. It takes a team to come together to create a nurturing environment. Purpose: The data will show a decline in unwanted student behavior. The goal is to lower the suspension rates by using techniques to create a positive
school environment. Techniques utilized are that of utilizing campus police officers as an institutional agent, leaders setting the
school culture, student engagement, class management systems and all stakeholders buying in. The data and process will be presented to the community and the staff. The methods which were used to decrease unwanted behavior in the
school will be used to create a district wide initiative. Methods: Discipline data will be taken from an urban
school district in Houston, Texas. The data will be extracted from the district database, student management system and E-
School from 7th and 8th grade. The data will then be exported to create pivot tables for each year from 2014 to 2017. The pivot tables will describe the incident that took place and how many referrals were written for each institutional agent. Each institutional agent will then be assessed through observation over a period of three years, in how they were immersed in each key component studies.

▼ Background: Black boys often lie at the center of academic discourse. Conversations about the
school to
prison pipeline and literacy often point to grim
school and life outcomes of Black boys. Purpose: In an effort to understand Black boys’ perspectives on their suspensions and literacy one research question was posed: 1) How are the suspension experiences of teenage Black boys situated in a literacy context? Additionally, two sub questions were posed: 1a) What are their perceptions about
school and suspensions? 1b) What are their perceptions about literacy (books/reading)
Methods: The phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of three 11th grade Black boys. The researcher spent five weeks collecting observation data that eventually led to building trust with the participants. Interview data was collected and analyzed using transcendental phenomenology.
Results: The study revealed the Black boys’ positive perceptions about reading. The boys also shed significant light on how their families responded to their suspensions. Finally, the boys revealed the deep connection between their teachers and their suspensions. Conclusion: The study contributed to the body of research surrounding the educational experiences of Black boys in that it created an environment for them to voice their lived experiences with literacy and
school suspension.

▼ Classroom management is broadly defined as the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, on task, and academically productive during class. A teacher’s skills as a classroom manager are vital to being an efficient and effective teacher, no matter how knowledgeable a teacher may be on a
subject. However, while most college curriculums focus on pedagogy and curriculum-building skills, most do not place explicit focus on classroom management strategies. This leaves many teacher candidates feeling ill-prepared to manage a classroom upon leaving academia. This paper explores the necessity of creating a college-level course dedicated to merging academic theory with research-based practices as they are performed in the field in an attempt to further prepare teacher candidates for the realities of modern classroom management.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate education and self-efficacy for incarcerated men who have chosen to pursue post-secondary educations despite being in the confinement of the PIC. A narrative inquiry design was used. This is where the story of a real life problem or situation is used to provide sufficient background data in order to analyze and solve a problem. It was important to share the stories of the participants so that readers could understand the overall effects of education and religion in this culture. The study data was collected through participant letters, face-to-face discussion, PASCI survey, artifacts, and researcher’s notebook. The process of triangulation, where the sources were verified, validating or disconfirming, was used. The findings in the study revealed six themes: K-12 Education Issues that Contributed to Incarceration and the School-to-Prison Pipeline where the participants repeatedly discussed how their lack of interest in school led their dropouts; Impact of Earning a Degree While Incarcerated on Self-Esteem where the participants overwhelming noted that their presently high sense of self and self-worth was not enhanced by their experience, but their purpose and drive, as well as their need to spread the word of God was enhanced; Background Issues that Contributed to Incarceration where the issues of parental involvement, age and brain development at the age of incarceration, and discipline were repeatedly noted; NOBTS Experience that Led to Growth and Positive Reintegration into Society where personal growth, enhanced religious conviction, teaching, and sharing were discussed by the currently incarcerated men, and the success of reintegration was discussed by the returning citizen; Mechanisms that Led to the Culture Shift within the Prison where the cultural shift was attributed more so to the administrative changes, the new system of privileges and morality, and the individual inmate personal changes within that led to the decrease in violence and calmed environment; and Participant Self-Evaluation of Their Path through the School-to-Prison Pipeline where the participants reported factors that impacted their experience as youth that contributed to their eventual imprisonment such as poverty, dropping out of school, street life, and their K-12 environment.

▼ When strong expectations for societal compliance to societal ills, including miseducation, result in mass incarceration of disenfranchised communities; suffering can occur. The more acerbic the incarceration; the greater the injury. Yet, as research and emerging data will bear witness to, some ex-prisoners who experience incarceration do achieve psychological freedom and victory on varying levels.
This is a study about mass incarceration and how the United States imprisons more people per capita than any other country. Imprisoning exorbitant amounts of human capital means imprisoning whole communities – particularly communities of color. Self-determination theory, social learning theory and adult education theory are used as the milieu for data collected from minority male ex-prisoners who managed not to re-offend and who achieve success after release from
prison. The aim of the study is to confirm or disconfirm the aforementioned theories while usage of symbolic interaction as the methodology situates this research.
Studies combining a three-prong theoretical approach to understanding ex offender success after being released from
prison are lacking. It is the goal of this study to add this body of research through multifaceted interpretation of interviews to illuminate the voices of those not often in the conversation of educational reform. The collective growth serves an educative purpose because it assists in informing and increasing awareness to the unforgiving laws after a person has paid his debt to society. Implications of this study aspire to inform best teaching practices for curriculum development and classroom management.

▼ This study was a qualitative action research project that involved focus groups of key stakeholders at an alternative education high
school including: students, teaching staff, classified staff, supervisors, families, and collaborative partners. A semi-structured interview guide was used to discover their perceptions of a
school culture and climate where students FLOURISH. The word FLOURISH is used in this research to describe the optimal experience of thriving and growing as well as an acronym that contains the elements that a literature review found to be important for such environments serving the most vulnerable student populations. This type of research is especially important in light of the recent transformation to educational planning and finance in California called LCFF (Local Control Funding Formula) and its creation of the Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) with their mandate for stakeholder input. Finally, and most importantly, emerging research shows schools that improve their culture and climate can counter the “
school to
prison pipeline” effect so often experienced by vulnerable youth in the alternative education system. Both systematic analysis and a constructivist approach were used in coding and memoing to track the presence of existing themes from the literature review and to capture new ones emerging from the transcripts. Leadership, systems, equity and implementation implications were explored as secondary questions. Findings included the generation of a new model, coined The 5Rs Cycle – Resources, Regulation, Relationships, Relevance & Rigor, which captured the essential elements found in the literature review along with the myriad themes produced by the focus groups.

▼ This study examined the perceptions of second year MSW students at California State University, Sacramento on how various characteristics created the
school to
prison pipeline. The study utilized a quantitative survey research design that asked participants to respond to a Likert scale questionnaire to measure the attitudes of participants. Participants (n=60) were selected via convenience sampling method. The data analysis revealed that there are associations between different elements of the participants??? perspectives and demographics. One significant finding is that participants viewed that the various characteristics of the
pipeline such as race, gender, disciplinary methods, community and behavior and mental health do have an impact on the likelihood students will experience the function of the
pipeline. This finding was correlated with a higher level of awareness of how the
school to
prison pipeline affects students as well as an understanding of the connection between schools and the criminal justice system. Implications for social work practice and policy are discussed.

▼ The stories that appear in this dissertation present a microcosm of the outcomes associated with exclusionary school discipline policies throughout the United States. Every year, U.S. schools exclude millions of students from school by use of suspension or expulsion. While exclusionary discipline rates have dropped in recent years, quantitative data fails to provide a comprehensive analysis of the context in which students are removed from school and later reinstated. School discipline studies rarely include student accounts; even less is documented about post-exclusion experiences of students who have not been confined or those entering traditional school settings, particularly expelled students. This paucity in research fails to contribute to our understanding of challenges and successes experienced by returning students at various phases of readmission to school and misses nuances associated with exclusionary discipline.Acknowledging and effectively addressing the educational needs of returning students requires research such as the present study. This qualitative study adds a new dimension to existing research on exclusionary discipline by documenting the experiences and reintegration processes faced by students who are readmitted into their original district. This study highlights student voice and analyzes the complex outcomes of exclusionary discipline measures, the challenges and opportunities returning students experienced, and how schools might support students during and after expulsion. Symbolic interaction helps us understand how meaning is co-constructed through interaction between individuals; students interpret and define these exchanges. As this study reveals, expelled students had a positive attitude about reinstatement that conditions and a lack of support quickly dashed. Students’ narratives illuminate the complex needs and subtle academic, social, and personal consequences of exclusionary discipline. This dissertation concludes with methodological and theoretical contributions. I argue for a comprehensive account of school discipline that includes an examination of the interactive and complex factors associated with student reentry. With specific policy proposals for reform, I hope to aid policy makers, educators, parents, and advocates to reflect on current disciplinary practices and work toward student discipline policies that keep students in school while promoting safe and secure learning environments to serve the needs of every student.

▼ African American youth are 3.5 times more likely than their white counterparts to be expelled from traditional public schools and sent to an alternative school—an exclusionary disciplinary setting focused on behavior modification. Yet how administrators and faculty supervise students’ behavioral achievement in these settings is seldom examined. This research investigates how faculty and administrators define and implement a behavior modification program at Richmond Learning Center, an alternative education setting in Mississippi, and places African American boys as young as 12 years old on a path to
prison. To understand how faculty and administrators perceive and practice this program, I performed 9 semi-structured interviews with administrators and faculty and approximately 100 hours of participant observations at the
school. I find that administrators and faculty implement a structurally undefined behavior modification program that 1) takes a hands-off approach to the educational and behavioral development of its students; and 2) relies on both the insidious and spectacular surveillance of its African American students. Notably, while faculty and administrators acknowledge the shortcomings of the alternative system, they ultimately blame students who get in trouble under the watchful eyes of the
school. These findings have important implications for understanding how some alternative centers criminalize African American boys and places them in the
school-to-
prison pipeline.

▼ The purpose of this study is to understand how African-American males enrolled in middle
school in Los Angeles County experienced and understood the application of the California educational code regarding discipline. Disproportionate numbers of African-American students are being suspended and expelled from public schools. This overreliance on exclusionary punishment has led to the
School-to-
Prison Pipeline, and the statistics related to suspension rates from
school mirror that of the criminal justice system. This study captures the voices of students who are consistently referred to the office by classroom teachers in order to understand how they perceive and articulate their experiences with the
school disciplinary process and how those experiences impact their academic and personal lives. Findings indicate that participants want to do well in
school. The participants described many of the behaviors that triggered an office referral as trivial, such as being tardy to class, talking, or not doing their work. When their infractions were more serious, students stated that they acted out because the teacher had disrespected or antagonized them. More than anything, participants want teachers to listen to them and to respect them, and they want to be active participants in their learning.

▼ The implementation of
school resource officer programs has been a popular response to
school-based violence in the United States. Parents,
school officials, and policy makers believe that police presence makes students and staff feel safer on campus, deters
school-based crime and violence, and creates positive relationships between youth and the police. However, there is a growing concern that
school resource officers hypercriminalize trivial student misbehavior, contribute to a culture of youth punishment and control, and are instrumental in facilitating a link between schools and the juvenile justice system. Despite the rapid rate at which
school resource officer programs have expanded over the last two decades and the significant amount of federal and state funds that have been allocated for their implementation, very little is known about how
school resource officers operate in schools across the United States. The current work aims to gain a better understanding of how
school resource officers spend their time, the extent to which
school characteristics explain the variation in their behaviors, the factors influencing their involvement in
school discipline, and how their behavior is shaped by the presence and availability of schools’ informal social control measures. Since
school resource officers are likely to remain a permanent fixture in schools across the country, it is necessary to better understand their role within the
school setting. Utilizing data from the Department of Education’s
School Survey on Crime and Safety (2015), supplemented with qualitative interviews from a sample (n=20) of
school resource officers, the current research aims to fill this gap in the literature by applying Donald Black’s (1976)
Behavior of Law as a theoretical framework. Some findings were consistent with the notion that
school resource officers engage in behaviors that may contribute to the
school-to-
prison pipeline, but other findings suggested that many
school resource officers are willing to seek alternative social control measures in an effort to keep students out of the juvenile justice system. This highlights the importance of selecting officers for this assignment who are oriented toward working with youth and are committed to using alternatives to formal juvenile justice sanctions, while only referring students to the juvenile justice system as a last resort. Additionally, these findings suggest that although schools are considered to be a microcosm of society, the law oftentimes manifests itself differently within schools relative to the rest of society due to the intimate nature of the
school setting. Further, it is important that police departments and
school districts maintain a shared understanding of the roles of
school resource officers and that schools should not be policed in the same way in which streets are policed. Finally,
school resource officers should be expected to take advantage of the readily available alternative social control measures that are unique to the
school setting so as not…

▼ Maintaining order in the classroom is one of the most
important responsibilities of a teacher. Historically, during the
colonial era in America, educators often relied upon the harsh
practice of corporal punishment to enforce discipline in accordance
with religious tradition. Following the end of the eighteenth
century, however, the spread of progressive values led many
scholars to challenge its ethical appropriateness in the classroom.
As a useful replacement, suspension was employed to removal
particularly troublesome students from the
school temporarily and,
failing that, permanent expulsion. Moreover, rising juvenile crime
rates during the early 1900s began to foster a close bond between
schools and the criminal justice system. This complementary
relationship would eventually lead to the formation of what is now
known as the “
school-to-
prison pipeline”—a metaphorical process by
which socially disadvantaged or minority youth are removed from the
positive influences of the
school and further criminalized.
Unfortunately, despite this rhetoric, there has been a lack of
detailed research conducted to ascertain how exclusionary
discipline operates, why it is used, and the typical
characteristics of suspended or expelled students. Using a sample
of serious adolescent offenders, this study examines the long-term
consequences of
school exclusion over a seven-year period on
various measures of criminal offending. The findings suggest that
the influence of a single suspension is relatively weak, that
expulsion is generally detrimental, and that only excessive amounts
of cumulative suspensions show a persistent longitudinal effect.
Accordingly, a synthesis is provided in an attempt to resolve the
conflict between student disciplinary procedures and the
fundamental objectives of the
school in modern society. Finally,
these results are incorporated into a wider body of literature that
recognizes the pervasive danger of antagonistic or physically
violent children and the damage caused to others by their
pernicious presence at
school.

▼ The education and criminal justice systems have
developed in relation to one another, intersected through specific
events, policies, practices, and discourses that have ultimately
shaped the experiences and lives of children of color. Racism,
white supremacy, and oppression are foundational to the United
States and evident in all systems, structures, and institutions.
Exploring the various contexts in which the education and criminal
justice systems have developed illuminates their coalescence in
contemporary United States society and more specifically, in public
schools. Public schools now operate under discipline regimes that
criminalize the behavior of Black and Brown children through
exclusionary practices and zero-tolerance policies, surveillance
and security measures, and school police. Children of color must
navigate complex and interlocking systems of power in schools and
the broader society that serve to criminalize, control, and
incapacitate youth, effectively cementing a relationship between
schools and prisons. Describing these complex and interlocking
systems of power that exclude children from schools and force them
into the criminal justice system as the “school-to-prison pipeline”
is increasingly insufficient. The “school-prison nexus” more
accurately and completely embodies the relationship between
education, incarceration, and the political economy. In the United
States, where capitalism reigns, the school-prison nexus serves as
an economic imperative to further fuel the political economy,
neoliberal globalization, and the prison-industrial complex. In
both the education and criminal justice systems, Black and Brown
children are commodified and exploited through the school-prison
nexus as a mechanism to expand free-market
capitalism.

▼ This study seeks to understand how
school processes affect disproportionate minority contact within the Hardin County Juvenile Justice System. A study completed by Lovell and Drummond (2016) in conjunction with the Hardin County BRIDGES Council, is used as the foundation for the current research. The original research, along with several others, examined disproportionate minority contact (DMC) after the student had been referred from their respective schools to the juvenile court system. The current study investigates 858 juvenile court records, with permission of the Hardin County Juvenile Judges, and examines
school information included in the court records related to the student in correlation to race.
School data was collected from the court cases to identify points of DMC that begin within the
school system, which ultimately led to their referral to the juvenile court system.

▼ Education for Aboriginal peoples is championed as a great equalizer and antithetical to a future of incarceration. Even though Aboriginal peoples are experiencing upward trends in education, they continue to be incarcerated at ten times the rate of their non-Aboriginal counterparts in the Canadian prairies. This study explores the discursive connections between education and incarceration for Aboriginal students. Specifically, the researcher sought to understand how educators’ normative discourses about learning and
school legitimize and make possible the criminalization of Aboriginal students, and how educators work to disrupt normative discourses and open up possibilities for who can be a learner. This study is informed by multiple race frameworks, and poststructural theorizing about knowledge, power and subjectivities, and offers a discourse analysis of interviews with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal educators working across one prairie province. The central finding of this thesis is that normative discourses about Aboriginal students are exclusionary discourses that position Aboriginal students outside of acceptable learner status, and effectively, outside of settler society. This argument is constructed over three interrelated chapters: Chapter Five demonstrates how cultural discourses are often racializing discourses that allow educators to evade considerations of racism and claim commitment to Aboriginal students, Chapter Six explores how inferiorizing discourses produce Aboriginal students as impossible learners and naturalize schooling exclusions, and Chapter Seven presents the discourse of the taken-for-granted-as-troublesome Aboriginal male student and the normalization of a police presence in schools. Throughout each chapter, the author demonstrates how subjectivities imposed upon Aboriginal students are not only incommensurable with normative expectations of student behaviour, but also at odds with the imagined qualities of citizens of the nation state. Counter-narratives of participants who disrupt normative discourses and produce Aboriginal students as belonging in
school are also included. Emphasizing the
school as a powerful identity-making space where students learn who they are and where they belong in a settler society, the author suggests race power deployed through normative educational discourses naturalizes spaces of abjection as rightful spaces of belonging for Aboriginal peoples.

▼ For nearly four decades, research has explored racial disparities in school discipline, revealing consistent discrepancies in the discipline of Black students compared to white students and other students of color. In these explorations, Black boys have taken precedent as being most susceptible to this discipline gap and deemed most as risk for future involvement in the school-to-prison pipeline. As a result, until recently, the discipline experiences of Black girls had largely been overlooked. More recent literature suggests that there are important disparities in school discipline along race, gender, and class lines. However, less is known about how Black girls experience exclusionary discipline specifically. This dissertation fills this gap in the literature by utilizing a critical quantitative methodology to study differences in suspension odds and rates of 8th grade female students. Utilizing secondary data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study – Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K), logistic and negative binomial regression analyses were conducted to assess differences in the suspension of Black, Latina, and white girls. Testing a number of demographics, behavioral, school bonding, and school-context factors, this study examines predictors that contribute to discrepancies in school suspension and highlight potential protective factors that may alleviate these disparities. Centering Black girls and utilizing critical race feminist and social bonding lenses, this study advances intersectional scholarship that provides more nuanced understandings of the discipline gap. Results of the study yield some important findings: (1) Black girls are significantly more likely to be suspended and at higher rates than their peers when demographic and school context factors are considered; (2) Black girls’ suspension was most impacted by individual factors that were not consistent across models; (3) for Latina girls, suspension was most strongly associated with school-context factors; (4) white girls’ suspension was associated with a number of individual, behavioral, and school-context factors; and (5) school bonding may provide some protective effects for Black girls as it lessened the significance of race and “problem behavior” on suspension. These findings provide valuable insights for future research on the discipline gap and can help inform more inclusive and equitable learning spaces and disciplinary practices in schools for Black girls.

▼ This study applied qualitative methods from a constructivist perspective to investigate the efficacy of restorative practices (RP) at an American inner-city
school. The study analyzed interviews and office referrals from four students, eleven teachers, and three administrators to investigate factors that impacted the efficacy of restorative practices and other non-punitive approaches to classroom discipline for the purposes of evolving current understanding of how RP works in a classroom setting. The study revealed that three factors were important in connection to improving and/or restoring student behavior in the classroom. These factors were 1) teachers' attempts to make personal connections with students 2) teachers' attempts to maintain a consistent demeanor in the classroom, and 3) affective resonance. These findings are important to the field of RP in that they show that training which emphasizes targeted restorative practices in response to incidents of misbehavior, which are emphasized by many RP programs, such as IIRP, and other RP experts, may be of secondary interest to the work of restoring student behavior to
school norms. The findings make salient other factors that are described and addressed within RP literature, however, are often not directly emphasized. In addition, this study provides new insights into the concept of affective resonance and brings new theoretical insights that might help evolve research methods investigating the impact of teacher efforts to implement restorative practices.

▼ School attendance is the strongest predictor of high school graduation. Through a mixed methods design, using independent samples t-tests together with student interviews, this study examined a partnership program’s impact on school attendance as an indicator of academic achievement and predictor to graduation. The program is part of a partnership between a school district, school police department, and city government. The research focused on the experiences of 13- to 17-year-old students who were referred to Los Angeles Unified School District Pupil Services and Attendance (PSA) counselors at FamilySource community agencies after committing minor law infractions through the partnership’s arrest diversion program. The study used a systems theoretical approach, the 40 Developmental Assets framework, and the program’s theory of change to illuminate how the program addresses individual, family, school, and community factors. Findings revealed that over 65% of students (N=129) who were referred to interventions by a PSA counselor followed through and engaged in one or more of the recommended interventions. Types of intervention referrals included drug counseling, individual counseling, youth development services and other services, such as anger management and recreational programs. No statistically significant differences were found in attendance rates between students who did engage in recommended interventions and those who did not. However, regardless of engagement in service interventions, 68.8% of students were not chronically absent. Student interviews revealed that the initial intake assessment with the PSA counselor may itself be an intervention that has a positive effect on students, regardless of their subsequent engagement in referral recommendations. The strongest impact of the program was on internal developmental assets, particularly commitment to learning and positive self-identity. The study shows some evidence of a promising program that diverts students away from the juvenile justice system by impacting psychosocial assets and thus educational outcomes such as attendance.

▼ In the midst of intensifying income inequality, police violence, and school segregation, Obama’s Administration launched the Supportive School Discipline Initiative in 2010 to reinvigorate civil rights enforcement and eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline. Since then, the Supportive School Discipline Initiative has been touted as a success story of grassroots advocacy, philanthropic involvement in education reform, bi-partisan collaboration, and cross sector coordination between education, school psychology, law enforcement, and criminal justice. Education reformers invoke common narratives of liberal reform in this process, including bottom-up change, collaboration between strange bedfellows, and innovative policymaking through networks. Yet, this study finds that even under ideal implementation conditions, characterized by successful destabilization and educators committed to change – the social control, punishment, and policing practices in the school district didn’t change much. Instead, the district mandated the adoption of more behavioral management programs and the creation of a district-wide discipline data system, both experienced as bureaucratic and insufficient to address the school climate and culture needs in schools. While, dominant explanations for liberal reform failure place the blame on resistant or incompetent educators, this study asks what larger political and economic interests were at stake in the creation, implementation, and outcomes of the Supportive School Discipline Initiative. Through social network visualization and qualitative coding of policy and advocacy reports published on school discipline between 2000 and 2014, I found that the US Department of Education and the US Department of Justice worked together to support and shape a national policy network through which education reform non-profits and for-profits co-opted the school-to-prison pipeline frame to drum up demand for behavioral management programs and other education reform products and services. Through an in-depth qualitative case study of the first two-and-a-half years of the implementation of the Supportive School Discipline Initiative in an urban school district, I find that the policy mandates, the civil rights ideals it invoked, and the current grant-dependency of urban school districts incentivized district central office administrators to compete with one another to secure funding for education reform industry products and services and to coordinate a shared managerial interest in data auditing and accountability. Thus, I conclude that the Supportive School Discipline Initiative worked largely as it was intended to, serving the interests of the education reform industry and not the interests of those concerned with the school-to-prison pipeline or creating more just schools.

▼ Irish research into the formal educational experiences of people who have been, or who are, in prison compares poorly with international norms. Against this noticeable absence of Irish studies affording attention to the formative educational experiences of people who came became involved with the Irish justice system, this research focused on bringing their voices and experiences into conversation. Through a non-ideal theoretical framework based on the work of Michel Foucault and epistemic injustice, this research examines the perceptions, experience, and analysis by participants of the relationship between experiences of formal schooling and involvement with the Irish criminal justice system. Theories of disciplinary power/knowledge and testimonial and hermeneutical injustice informed the design of a multi-perspective, qualitative methodology that was underpinned by the emancipatory commitments of critical theory. This used open and semi-structured interviewing to explore the formative educational experiences of those who were involved with the criminal justice system. Whilst centrality is given to the voices of the former students who experienced school exclusion and the justice system, this research also includes the important perspectives of educators, multiple stakeholders, and parents of excluded children. Analysis mobilised the lens of the theoretical frameworks, drawing on the core concepts of voice, practices, silence, and subjugated knowledge in framing the themes through which the findings were interpreted.
Building on the key themes that emerged from the findings, this research unpacks the unintended consequences of equality policies for this cohort of students and the implications for school choice, relationships, discipline, exclusion, and deficit models of teaching and learning. The voices and perspectives of the participants in this research offer a different way of thinking about inclusion, relationships, communication, school culture, values, equality and participation in education. They locate the policy and practice constraints that impede these and offer solutions to remedy them. A series of policy and practice recommendations based on the findings and analysis are offered in the conclusion.

African-American Male Perceptions on Public Schooling after Discipline: A Contextual Portrait from the Inner City.

▼ Literature shows that one of the major issues affecting the achievement of inner-city African- American male students in public-schools is the ineffectiveness of disciplinary procedures. These studies have shown a direct positive relationship between student behavioral problems and academic failure. This study was an attempt at answering Noguera’s (2008) call for understanding more fully how African-American males come to perceive schooling, in particular their discipline experiences, and how environmental and cultural forces impact this perception of their behavior and performance in
school. This was a qualitative study that heard the stories of inner-city African-American male students who were pushed out of public-schools through disciplinary measures. This study was based on racial components that fit directly into the structure of Critical Race Theory (CRT). The qualitative research method of portraiture was used to answer this study’s research question because it was relative to the problems that African- American male students face in their inner-city schooling experiences. The participants in this study were at least eighteen years old, African American, and pushed out of an inner-city public high
school based on disciplinary consequences. Each participant shared environmental, cultural, and schooling experiences through a series of three interviews. The study found that environmental and cultural forces had a negative affect on the ways that these African-American males perceived their experiences in public-schools. The study concluded that these young men found success in private-continuation-schools, and that educators and policy makers should consider implementing the practices of these alternative schools in U.S. public-schools.

▼ This multiple case study examined classroom discipline in the context of teachers’ understandings of power, their interactions and relationships with students, and their decision-making about curriculum and pedagogy. This work was grounded within the literature on the discipline gap—or the disproportionate rate at which students of color are punished more frequently and more severely than their White peers. While there is a wealth of quantitative literature discussing the discipline gap, such investigations are limited to an analysis of the disciplinary actions that are assigned to student behaviors after they have already occurred. As such, there are relatively few qualitative investigations that examine the precursors to the very disciplinary actions that quantitative studies are dependent upon. Guided by theoretical examinations of power, intersectionality, and Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, this study sought to investigate the discipline gap through the following questions: 1) How do teachers at an urban public high
school who work effectively with students of color understand and employ the concept of power in their classroom interactions with students?; and 2) What interpersonal and pedagogical decisions do these teachers make in the context of classroom discipline? This study included classroom observations, artifact analyses, and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students at two diverse, urban public high schools. While the
school-sites and classrooms were distinct from each other in several ways, findings showed that teachers’ approaches to discipline, curriculum, and pedagogy, as well as their interactions with students, were dependent upon their conceptualizations of the sociocultural factors of race, culture, socioeconomic status, gender, and language. Furthermore, their understandings of—and resulting practices regarding—the aforementioned sociocultural factors were dependent upon teachers’ own explicit and implicit cultural values and norms. This research contributes to the literature on the discipline gap by offering insight to potential contextual factors that impact student-teacher relationships and disciplinary structures within classrooms.

Evaluating Trauma-Informed Educational Practices With Trauma-Exposed, Female Students.

▼ Youth who have experienced psychological trauma, such as court-involved youth, encounter unique challenges and barriers to their academic success (Burley & Halpern, 2001; Courtney et al., 2001; Courtney, Terao & Bost, 2004; Pecora et al., 2005). For court-involved students, many of whom come from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds (Brandt, 2006; Lawrence & Hesse, 2010; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013b), a school’s response to student behavior can further complicate these challenges (Cole et al., 2005). Unfortunately, little research exists on the educational well-being of female students in this population (Crenshaw, Ocen, & Nanda, 2015) and trauma-informed educational practices have not been extensively tested. In response, this three-paper. study examined the use of a trauma-informed teaching intervention in a
school that exclusively serves court-involved, female students. First, I qualitatively explored the perceptions and experiences of students at both a trauma-informed
school (N=42) and a non-trauma-informed comparison
school (N=34). Next, I quantitatively assessed the associations between the intervention and 109 students’ trauma symptoms and self-esteem over the first three years of implementation of the trauma-informed intervention. Finally, I used mixed methods to examine 71 students’ use and perceptions of the Monarch Room (MR), the school’s trauma-informed alternative to suspension/expulsion practices. Findings illustrate more positive student experiences in the trauma-informed
school environment, decreased trauma symptoms across three years of intervention implementation, increases in student use of the MR, positive student perceptions of the MR, and suggestions for MR improvement. Implications for policy and practice are addressed, along with considerations for future research.
