Webinar: SMART Center 2021 virtual speaker series - Dr. Anne Gregory

The University of Washington (UW) School Mental Health Assessment, Research, & Training (SMART) Center - a collaboration with the UW School of Medicine and College of Education - presents the 2021 Virtual SMART Speaker Series.

We welcome Anne Gregory, Ph.D., who will present: "Strengthening relationships and repairing harm: A paradigm shift in school discipline practice and research.​"

In her presentation, Dr. Gregory will discuss school and district efforts to reduce punitive approaches to discipline, decrease racial disparities in suspensions, and increase access to social emotional learning and restorative practices. Drawing from interviews with educational leaders engaged in discipline reform, she will describe their challenges with school staff buy-in and their strategies for changing mindsets. Dr. Gregory will further discuss researcher social positionality and ways of conducting equity-oriented research from the stance of strengthening relationships and repairing harm.
