Case: Case study: The teacher isn't on board
The school I teach at rolled out PBIS last year and though it has been a rocky start, we are starting to really see improvements in attendance and how the students treat each other. My teacher friend is not happy with having to distribute "Tiger Paws" and often just hands her quota to her homeroom class at the end of the week without acknowledging positive behaviors. She is also punitive in her discipline practice and is more likely to send black kids to the office instead of personally contacting their parents (which is one of the teacher resources) because "the parents won't discipline them at home like the white parents will." Her attitude toward our framework and specifically her remarks about our students of color has made me distance myself from her. While I haven't reported her to my administrator, since we are about to start Year 2, I really think she might need to be confronted on many areas. But that's not my job, is it? How do I try to work on being an ally to my black students and their parents and not come across as a tattle tale to my colleagues?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you do not want to report her you can try and talk to her about the situation and tell her that she is treating her students of color wrongly. This might give her some self reflection. You should remind her of what she has learned about racial injustice and how important it is to treat all her students equally. Just try to be as nice with her as you can. You can continue to be culturally relevant with your students. Show your students that you care for them regardless of skin color. Try to make your classroom inclusive. Have books that are filled with diverse characters and different cultures. You can even connect some of your lessons with their culture/heritage. Involve the parents in your classroom! and keep contact with them. Try to have meetings with them, not only when the student has done something wrong, but when the student is behaving good in class, that way you can build positive relationships with the parents. Just set the example of how you are supposed to treat your students of color.

| Comments: I think this is the best solution, civally speaking to the teacher could work and be a wake up call but if not administration is the way to go to recieve help. Making the classroom inclusive is also a great way of making sure the classroom environment for your own classroom is ready as well as speaking with students about diversity. |

| Comments: I completely agree with this. Teachers need to treat all students equally. It might be a good idea to demonstrate how to be a better teacher for all students if choosing not to report that teacher. |

| Comments: Yes, making her aware that it is noticed how she treats people of color differently could give her a self check on what type of behavior she should have toward her students and what consequences she may face if it continues. |
