DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM

■ Cut school- consequence was not being allowed to come to school

■ We don’t know why he cut school- might be a deeper cause

■ Outcome of discipline policy = loss of learning

■ What does Jim learn from the consequence?

Principles, not Practices

Page 7: 30 SECONDS

■ Learning and growth is the point of student discipline – not justice

Page 8: 30 SECONDS

■ Student discipline has to be directly tied to a positive vision of student behavior and school culture

Page 9: 30 SECONDS

■ The consequences assigned to a student should be logically connected to the student’s behavior

Page 10: 30 SECONDS

■ Shift the responsibility for solving the problem from the adult to the student

■ Alternative discipline begins with investing in your relationships with students

DISCUSSION

■ Examine your school’s discipline policy in the context of these principles.

■ In what ways do your policies, practices, and structures reflect those principles?

■ In what ways do they undermine those principles?

Page 14: 30 SECONDS

Next Step

■ Take one policy, practice, or structure in your school that does not reflect those principles and re-fashion it so that it does honor them.
