- The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights just released new data that highlights inequities for minority students, including students with disabilities. The data includes information on restraint and seclusion, disaggregated by disability status. For example, out of nearly 40,000 students who were physically restrained, 70% of the cases involved students with disabilities. It also includes information on teacher equity, college and career readiness, bullying and other forms of discipline.
Additionally, NDRN just released an updated report on R/S cases, urging the Dept of Education to do more to prevent the use of these techniques. The new report, along with previous versions, can be found here.

- On March 14, 2012 CADRE will host a free, 75 minute webinar: Trust Is Like The Air We Breathe. We Don't Notice It Until It Is Gone. The webinar, which follows a very well-received workshop at CADRE's National Symposium, will be presented by Dr. Cathy Fromme.
About the Webinar: Research provides strong evidence that organizations with a high degree of trust among employees are far more likely to make and sustain the kinds of changes that help them reach their goals and outcomes – than those organizations where there is little or no trust among staff. This session will describe both empirical and conceptual research related to trust types. We will explore the various types of trust as they relate to social and organizational life. In addition, we will make connections between trust, trust types, relationship, communication and increased effectiveness in mediation and ADR outcomes.
To participate in this webinar you must call in and log in from your computer.
When: 03/14/2012 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM PDT
