Module 1: What is In-School Suspension?
Testimonials
"Johnathan Cranford and his implementation of The Art of ISS were a vital part of our campus ecosystem. ISS was not simply a holding place for students but instead was a positive reset for students who needed time, space and support to process their choices. While students did not "WANT" to visit ISS, they still respected the experience due to the consistency of the program. Teachers appreciated the ISS process because students returned to class with their work completed along with a new perspective on their actions. While students may not vocalize this, we could tell they too were grateful for their time in ISS, as it allowed them a chance to reset with the guidance of an adult who cares."
"As a veteran teacher with experience on multiple campuses, the minute we implemented Mr. Cranford's The Art of ISS, I could tell a noticeable difference in my students behaviors. My students would get their work done, get caught up on past work, have a lending hand every step of the way and are held accountable for their actions. I heard so many times “Ms. I completed all of your work yesterday. I feel so caught up now!” His methods are proven super effective, and I wish every ISS teacher could learn his techniques."
