Abstract
The school-to-prison pipeline (STPP)—disproportionately impacting students of color— involves a set of interactions between and among children, youth, their families, school personnel, other service providers, and gatekeepers to such outcomes as incarceration or college. Educators can, through their interactions with and expectations for students, contribute significantly to negative outcomes or lead the charge toward more positive outcomes. In this article, the authors first examine four factors that amplify the pipeline to prison, which if addressed effectively by educators can reduce it while creating alternative pathways to success. They then provide concrete suggestions for bolstering educator and school capacity to eliminate the STPP and implications for teacher preparation.
