Through this webinar, I learned that the percentage of students who were suspended were mainly male and/or African American. In comparison to Caucasian males, the percentage of suspension for African American boys is double. The percentage also increased when disabilities were put into consideration. Therefore the entire response was asking how we could change this. First off, we need to be aware of our bias within the classroom and throw out zero tolerance policy. Therefore, as a teacher, I need to keep my students within the classroom and avoid suspension. Instead, I need to come up with an agreed upon consequence for all my students for misbehaviors.
