The School-to-Prison Pipeline (STPP) is an injurious yet growing system of institutional inequity that funnels young people from schools to prisons. As part of the crisis of mass incarceration, STPP is a dimension of Jim Crow, redesigned. It is a disturbing national trend wherein children are policed out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems, an increasing percentage of which are privatized. The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) resolved to: (1) partner with local and national STPP advocacy groups and other professional literacy organizations to bring awareness of this crisis to a broader audience, including community leaders and policymakers; (2) strengthen the knowledge base of teacher educators, teachers, counselors, and administrators regarding the relationships among mass incarceration and school curricula, practices, and policies; (3) encourage the development and dissemination of restorative and culturally-sustaining pedagogical tools (e.g., research, classroom teaching strategies, and assessments) that help dismantle STPP; and (4) identify and disseminate research that supports proactive inclusion of literacy in social justice work.
