Show suggestions (14)
  • 7.4 [Professional Development on Equity & Inclusion]: Participation in equity-focused conferences — Currently: Not Implemented (0/2 pts). No public documentation was found confirming PGCPS staff participation in equity-focused external conferences (e.g., NABSE, NABE) as a district practice.
  • 1.2 [Culturally Responsive Training]: Mentorship programs for culturally diverse staff — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). PGCPS created a Recruitment and Retention Advisor-Hispanic Outreach role and a 2016 Workforce Diversity Task Force to recruit/retain Latino and male educators (pgcps.org Pillar 2 page; southernmarylandchronicle.com 2018 article), but no formal, district-wide 'mentorship program' specifically for culturally diverse staff was confirmed beyond general new-teacher mentoring.
  • 2.3 [Clear & Consistent Policies]: Staff training on consistent application — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). Training exists for administrators and an 'overview for all staff' on restorative/discipline approaches, but no specific, confirmed district-wide training program focused on consistent application of the conduct code itself was found (marylandpublicschools.org RP Work Group slides).
  • 3.1 [Restorative Justice Practices]: Restorative circles/conferences to repair harm — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). Restorative circles/conferences are used, but as of the 2025 work group materials, PGCPS reports roughly 19-20 actively engaged schools out of 200+, meaning the practice is not yet district-wide (marylandpublicschools.org RP Work Group Meeting Slides and Minutes, 11/21/2025).
  • 3.2 [Restorative Justice Practices]: Staff training in restorative practices — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). PGCPS offers an overview of restorative approaches to all school-based staff and trains administrators, with 300+ staff trained district-wide, but full implementation/training takes an average of five years per school and is not yet complete everywhere (marylandpublicschools.org minutes; pgcps.org Inside Scoop blog).
  • 3.3 [Restorative Justice Practices]: Curriculum integrates conflict-resolution skills — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). School counseling curricula include conflict-resolution and social-skills lessons, and Peer Mediator staff develop classroom instruction plans in conflict resolution (pgcps.org Tulip Grove Counseling page; Peer Mediator position description), but this appears school/counselor-driven rather than a uniformly embedded academic curriculum district-wide.
  • 4.1 [Bias Awareness & Mitigation]: Implicit bias training for staff — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). The mandatory annual one-day equity PD covers 'equity, diversity and belonging' for all staff (BP 0101), but it is not explicitly labeled or confirmed as 'implicit bias' training specifically.
  • 4.3 [Bias Awareness & Mitigation]: Cultural competence checks in hiring — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). PGCPS created a Hispanic Outreach recruitment/retention role to build a culturally proficient workforce, but no specific documented 'cultural competence check' built into the standard hiring/interview rubric was found (pgcps.org Pillar 2 page).
  • 8.2 [Mental Health & Trauma-Informed Practices]: Safe, supportive spaces (mindfulness/sensory) — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). Evidence found is school-specific (e.g., one high school's counseling office calming corner) rather than a confirmed district-wide mandate for safe/sensory spaces (sites.google.com/pgcps.org ERHS Guidance page).
  • 8.3 [Mental Health & Trauma-Informed Practices]: Trauma-informed staff training — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). PGCPS provides trauma-related resources for staff, but a 2024 county truancy work group discussion noted that making trauma-informed training mandatory for all staff (including non-classroom staff) remains a proposed, not yet implemented, longer-term change (citizenportal.ai article on truancy work group; pgcps.org Mental Health page).
  • 9.2 [Data Collection & Analysis]: Regular audits of discipline practices — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). PGCPS commissioned an Equity Audit (focused on the TAG program) and undergoes state financial audits, but a regular, discipline-specific audit process was not clearly confirmed (pgcps.org RFP PUR 005-24; dls.maryland.gov audit report).
  • 10.3 [Student Voice & Leadership]: Students facilitate restorative processes — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). Students facilitate peer mediation (a related restorative/conflict-resolution process), but there is no specific confirmation that students facilitate formal restorative circles/conferences (pgcps.org Peer Mediation page).
  • 12.1 [Continuous Evaluation & Improvement]: Standing committee/task force for discipline equity — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). PGCPS has convened equity task forces (e.g., the 2017-2018 Joint Taskforce on Educational Equity) and maintains an Equity Plan process, but no standing committee specifically and exclusively focused on discipline equity was confirmed (pgcps.org news release on Joint Task Force; BP 0101).
  • EC5 [Extra Credit]: A dedicated Hispanic Outreach Recruitment and Retention Advisor role and historic Workforce Diversity Task Force specifically target growing the pipeline of Latino educators to better reflect student demographics. — Currently: In-work (1/2 pts). pgcps.org Pillar 2 page; southernmarylandchronicle.com 2018 article on PGCPS workforce diversity recommendations.
