| Summary |
Headlines in American newspapers provide daily inspiration for concern over the discipline in public school systems. School systems can choose to react on a case by case basis to inappropriate behavior or they can adopt programs which prevent misbehavior and encourage good behavior. Adopting a program is much like any other shopping trip. The consumer should be aware of the options on the market, basic needs to be met, and the minimum criteria required to be effective. One purpose of this thesis was to explore the options in the area of discipline programs by categorizing them into philosophical groups. The primary purpose of the thesis was to document a case study of the evaluation process as applied to the discipline program of an entire school district. The case study describes the process of defining discipline as a program integrated into the school climate. The study then explores the process of evaluating the Camp Lejeune Dependents School District's current practices to determine the match between daily interventions and philosophy. Documentation includes evaluation methods, procedures and tools. |
