Rapid Response #3
While overall turnout among young voters in presidential elections has grown, turnout for midterms has stagnated.
Why is that?
True,
the presidency is not at stake, but control of the House and the Senate
is, as well as state leadership positions and local ballot initiatives.
The
Student Reporting Labs program has the opportunity to survey over 1,000
students around the country, which is more than many sample polls.
Help us take the pulse of youth and politics by having your classes complete this 2-minute
survey.

Sound Cloud

Now
???Explain
what discipline looks like at your school. Are you more likely to change your
behavior after receiving negative punishment or reinforcement and rewards for
taking positive steps?
Introduction
The
Federal government is setting new guidelines aimed to improve
school climate by transforming discipline practices and policies. This work is
motivated in part by data suggesting that punishments like
suspension are handed out disproportionately to black and Latino students.
One
alternative approach to discipline that’s gaining traction across the country
is called PBIS
– Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support.
It’s based on rewarding kids for following school rules – instead of removing
them from school when they mess up.
At
Floyd Elementary in Sacramento, when kids get in trouble, they use something
called “check-in, check out.” It works like this: When second grader Aubery
Galloway’s teacher felt he was being too disruptive in class, he started
meeting daily with Michelle Blanton — who’s kind of like his behavior coach.
Every
day, Aubery and his fellow students who are part of the program get rated by
their teachers on different behaviors. They can get a 0, 1, or 2 on their cards
— 2’s are the best. If students get enough points, they earn prizes and
privileges. On a Friday earlier this year, Aubery chose to be the Principal’s
helper for the day.
“I
think they really like having somebody to check in. And so I tell them they can
come see me and check in any time — come give me a hug ‘cause I know that’s
what you want!” said Blanton.
That’s
key in positive discipline – offering close attention from adults instead of
suspending students and sending them home.
These
are the kinds of questions educators and policy-makers are considering right
now, as more and more schools revamp their approaches to discipline. Do you
think positive discipline will teach kids to behave appropriately, or is it too
“soft?” What’s gained and what’s lost if more schools shift to using positive
discipline techniques? What’s the situation like in your school compared to the
system you hear described in the story?
