Details
Why not a *cradle to career* instead of *school to prison* pipeline? What is the school to prison pipeline and how and why did it evolve? What has been its impact in Chicago on childhood, children's futures, and communities? To what extent is implicit bias at work? What can we do differently to confront the challenges faced in the schools by children, their families, and our communities? This one-day multidisciplinary program will explore current responses and new directions for lawyers, social workers, educators, law enforcement, psychologists, and child advocates to better serve children in our communities and our schools and move us toward a cradle to career pipeline.
