Data collections, feedback sheets, reflections on previous research studies.
Compare all strategies with data analysis and observations. Make Changes if necessary. Find out what was effective and if the action research was effective.

  1. Jeffery, The plan is a good goal, however how do you plan to achieve such. Are you approaching the issue by new classroom management issues, new training for the teachers, parent involvement, what is your main influence to change.

    The objective seems a bit vague. While we all would like to increase the good behavior and cut down the bad behavior, what will be your main way of accomplishing this?

    FYI, you may want to consider shutting off your word proof for posting.

  2. I agree with Craig. What are you going to do to motivate students to make changes? I see a lot of collecting and analyzing data and doing research in your plan. However, I do not see what exactly it is you plan to do to/for students who do not behave and for those who do show increase. Your plan looks similar to mine, yet is seems to me, as Craig stated, a little vague. Hope this helps.

  3. Jeffery,
    The concept of decreasing discipline with positive method is a good idea. What discipline areas are you trying to decrease--tardies, talking, etc? Look at PBIS strategies this might give you some ideas. Will teachers implement the strategies?

  4. Jeffrey -
    It's a bit difficult for me to tell from your plan above and you may have already thought about this, but what is the plan to accomplish such a idea? Are there positive rewards to those who achieve good behavior for a given time? Are the negative consequences so great that nobody wants to go there? I like the concept as any school would, but I need to see more about the plan itself. Good luck and keep us posted on your findings.

  5. Jeffrey,

    What is your certification area? An economical (read: easy) method to evaluate PBIS or other positive behavior reinforcement as a deterrent to discipline would be by grade level (if in high school or middle) or by class if elementary. Discipline is such a huge issue and as educational changes continue, if schools and teachers do not prepare with solid behavior programs the education system will fail miserably.
