Download or read book Texas Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs written by Kathy Erin Martinez-Prather and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of exclusionary discipline practices, which involves the removal of the student from the educational environment, continues to be a response used by schools for addressing student misconduct or delinquency. A major concern of stakeholders is that these types of discipline approaches may end up producing more negative outcomes for students (e.g., involvement in the criminal justice system or dropping out). Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs (DAEPs), a type of exclusionary discipline, are one of the more widely used tools used by schools. However, limited research has been conducted to understand how these programs operate and impact students. The purpose of this study was to understand the types of practices and support systems that are being implemented in DAEPs in Texas. Further, this study examined the relationship between program characteristics of a DAEP and its impact on recidivism to a DAEP. A mixed-methods approach was conducted. Specifically, an online survey was administered to DAEP principals to gather information on the types of practices implemented and an examination of the relationship with the rate of student recidivism. Next, follow-up interviews were conducted with DAEP principals from campuses that were found to have the highest and lowest student return rates to their DAEP.

Download or read book The Sentences That Create Us written by PEN America and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sentences That Create Us draws from the unique insights of over fifty justice-involved contributors and their allies to offer inspiration and resources for creating a literary life in prison. Centering in the philosophy that writers in prison can be as vibrant and capable as writers on the outside, and have much to offer readers everywhere, The Sentences That Create Us aims to propel writers in prison to launch their work into the world beyond the walls, while also embracing and supporting the creative community within the walls. The Sentences That Create Us is a comprehensive resource writers can grow with, beginning with the foundations of creative writing. A roster of impressive contributors including Reginald Dwayne Betts (Felon: Poems), Mitchell S. Jackson (Survival Math), Wilbert Rideau (In the Place of Justice) and Piper Kerman (Orange is the New Black), among many others, address working within and around the severe institutional, emotional, psychological and physical limitations of writing prison through compelling first-person narratives. The book’s authors offer pragmatic advice on editing techniques, pathways to publication, writing routines, launching incarcerated-run prison publications and writing groups, lesson plans from prison educators and next-step resources. Threaded throughout the book is the running theme of addressing lived trauma in writing, and writing’s capacity to support an authentic healing journey centered in accountability and restoration. While written towards people in the justice system, this book can serve anyone seeking hard won lessons and inspiration for their own creative—and human—journey.
