Staten Island Regional Partnership Center
The Staten Island Regional Partnership Center (SI RPC) is one of five borough based special education support centers. The SI RPC is made possible by a contract with the New York State Education Department's (NYSED) Office of Special Education (OSE). The NYC RPCs are part of a larger network of RPCs throughout New York State, and are trained and provided with resources and materials from content specific Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs).
The NYC RPCs work collaboratively with the Regional Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Center, the local NYSED Special Education Quality Assurance (SEQA) office, and NYSED OSE to provide quality special education support and technical assistance to early childhood and school-age professionals and families in the areas of behavior, culturally responsive education, literacy, the special education process, specially designed instruction, and transition.

Description: Day 1 of 2. This two-day (2/13/24 & 2/15/24) training package, designed for building level administrators and teachers, is intended to help participants understand that exclusionary practices have significant short and long-term negative effects on academic, social-emotional, health and wellness, and family outcomes of students and that there are alternative approaches to discipline that lead to improved student outcomes. Participants will ground themselves in a common understanding of suspension, removal, and discipline, as well as influences, impacts, policies and procedures that contribute to the on-going suspension crisis in schools today. Throughout these two days, participants will learn and explore effective research-based strategies for responding to student behavior and appropriate alternatives to suspension, which have significantly fewer negative impacts on student or family outcomes.
