Discipline Presentation: Next, we had Ms. Seamone, who is the Dean of Students here at Westview, come in to talk about her analysis of data about student discipline trends, both nationally and here at Westview.

Additionally, we said there would be more reading and materials linked to on the blog from the handout that she gave in class, if students were interested in reading more (perhaps for your final project?). Here is a shared folder of these readings:
Lots to think about, for sure! Thanks for coming in to talk with us, Ms. Seamone!

We will be going through these and offering feedback, so definitely get it in as soon as possible if you did not in class! See you on Wednesday!
