Don't suspend me!: an alternative discipline toolkit

Suspensions don't work. They don't improve behavior and they don't address the social-emotional needs of students. There are better, alternative discipline methods that can create positive, meaningful long-term changes in the behavior of challenging students. Aligned with educational law, Don't Suspend Me! gives educators the tools they need to apply these alternative methods.
