The Changing Face of School Discipline

Here is a great blog post by our Superintendent Shane Backlund on the new way of approaching behavior struggles at school.

Education's previous way of handling issues was to give students academic punishment for behavior issues. By that I mean, if they acted out, we made them miss instruction. If they got into a fight, we made them miss instruction. Often times, students act up BECAUSE they're struggling with academics. At JCP, we've been very intentional about how we approach and TEACH and intervene with behavior as intentionally as we teach and intervene with academic struggles.
