The Children's Policy and Law Initiative of Indiana
greatly appreciates the generous grant funding and support by The Glick Fund and The Indianapolis Foundation of the Central Indiana Community Foundation that helped make this training possible.
The PSDI program provides tools to help administrators, school support service staff, teachers, and school resource officers reduce exclusionary practices and provide strategies to improve learning environments for all students. The Initiative jump-starts School-wide Core Teams to bring about a mind-shift on positive school discipline practices through a culturally-responsive, trauma-informed lens. It exposes participating schools to readily available professional development opportunities for continued learning. Our Master Trainer Program supports a School Trauma Lead Coach who receives additional training and materials to help a school sustain the work they began in its first year with the program. |
