Doing Discipline Differently
Sprick, Randy
Principal Leadership, v9 n5 p18-22 Jan 2009
Reactive and exclusionary approaches to discipline are common in secondary schools but do not improve behavior or ensure safety. In this article, the author highlights two promising models that schools can combine to improve climate and discipline for all students. The combined models of PBS (positive behavior support) and RTI (response to intervention) can reduce student misbehavior and increase student responsibility, motivation, and academic achievement.
