Abstract

As students in schools have become more diverse, the teacher and leadership demographic has stayed predominantly White and female. Because of the cultural shifts in education, school leaders are asked to consider whether the old social norms regarding behavior are still suitable for all students. This case examines the social (i.e., White) norms of behavior and one school's attempt to decolonize discipline. Teachers and school leaders are encouraged to push back against the policies and practices that have created inequity in the educational system.
