This toolkit, produced by the Dignity in Schools Campaign and Professor Mark Warren at the University of Massachusetts Boston, provides resources for organizers, community-based groups, youth, parents, educators and advocates in the movement to stop school pushout and create inclusive and restorative school policies and cultures. The toolkit includes resources to assist groups to build a base of parent, youth and community participants, develop leadership of those most affected by school pushout, conduct participatory action research, educate members about how the school-to-prison pipeline operates, develop campaign strategies for policy change, and create positive and restorative alternatives to punitive school discipline practices. Resources include training manuals and guides, workshop materials, fact sheets, and sample reports, policies and campaign strategies from successful organizing efforts across the country.
