 Engaging Young Learners and Addressing Behaviors with Developmentally Appropriate Practice

Remake Learning

<DIV><SPAN>In 2017 Pittsburgh Public Schools became the first school district in Pennsylvania to pass a ban on suspending students in kindergarten through second grade for minor, non-violent offenses. Philadelphia followed by expanding the district's suspension ban from kindergarten to include first and second grade. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>What are effective ways to support schools and educators implementing a suspension ban policy?</SPAN></DIV>
