The Educator's Guide to Assessing and Improving School Discipline Programs
Boynton, Mark; Boynton, Christine
Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
When a one-class-at-a-time approach can't address a pervasive discipline problem, you need this book to implement a schoolwide solution. In this follow-up to "The Educator's Guide to Preventing and Solving Discipline Problems", the authors provide you with a research-based model to help your school: (1) Build positive relationships with students; (2) Define parameters for acceptable student behavior; (3) Monitor the parameters for acceptable student behavior; and (4) Develop effective consequences when problems occur. To ensure your plan is a success, the book provides lots of helpful tools, including: (1) Strategies for addressing philosophical differences about discipline and creating a shared vision; (2) Self-assessments that help teachers and schools target their strengths and weaknesses; (3) Interview and observation forms for getting feedback on discipline issues; and (4) Classroom and buildingwide action plans for implementing your solutions and dealing with especially challenging situations.
