This book was released on 2021 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine student- and school-level factors associated with risk of suspension. Using a dataset that included a cohort of students (n = 3,167) who were followed from first grade through eighth grade, this study utilized multilevel modeling to examine how student-level factors, such as demographic characteristics, enrollment history, and academic achievement, and school-level factors, such as school climate, academic achievement proficiency rates, and school and teacher demographics, predict student risk of suspension in middle school. The key findings of this study indicate that student-level factors that significantly predicted suspension risk in middle school were race, gender, and academic achievement. For school-level variables, only school climate significantly predicted suspension risk in middle school. Given that school suspension is associated with negative short- and long-term outcomes, this finding is encouraging as school climate is alterable, and improvements in school climate may lead to lower suspension rates.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out-of-school suspension is a growing concern in the United States education system and affects students at the three Title I schools in the Central School System at a particularly high frequency. The purpose of this applied study was to solve the problem of high-frequency out-of-school suspension for three Title I middle schools in the Central School system and to formulate a solution to address the problem. A multi-method design was used, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The first approach was structured interviews with two administrators from each school. The second approach was the analysis of archival data using the discipline data from the school system. The third approach was a teacher survey using a Likert scale to determine teacher perspectives on out-of-school suspension. These tools were used to develop a focused program that will allow the schools to meet student needs while also maintaining safety, order, and a positive school climate. The results of the data showed that administrators and teachers were aware of the negative implications of out-of-school suspension but were experiencing tension between the need to maintain discipline within the school and teacher support while also desiring to reduce out-of-school suspension. The data showed that administrators identified significant differences in most of the student body and students who have frequent behavioral concerns and multiple suspensions. An alternative to suspension program was developed and proposed as a solution to reduce out-of-school suspension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this critical action research study was to examine the perceptions of teachers and support staff regarding planning of an in-school suspension program, according to a framework suggested by Short and Noblit (1985), which includes academic, therapeutic, and punitive curricular components. Participatory research was used to plan the curriculum of an ISS. The qualitative design of this participatory study utilized interviews and focus groups. The design explored the perceptions of middle school teachers and support staff. Coding revealed that middle school teachers and support staff perceived these three components were important in planning an in-school suspension program. Middle school teachers and support staff perceived the therapeutic curricular component was related to one-on-one counseling. The academic curricular component was related to the advancement and remediation of student skills. Middle school teachers and support staff perceived the punitive curricular component was related to structure, rules, and regulations. Counseling was viewed as an important component to improve students' self image within the school community. Middle school teachers and support staff believed that students need to take responsibility for their behavior and that a punitive component could provide appropriate structure to the curriculum, however along with the combination of the academic and therapeutic components could provide for a well-rounded ISS. Future qualitative research could address students' input in an ISS program.

Martin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship between school-wide PBIS and suspensions among middle school students using a quasi-experimental, ex post facto, longitudinal case study of in-school suspension (ISS) and out-of-school suspension (OSS) for school years 2010-2011 through 2014-2105 at an urban middle school in Southern New England. The data collected in this study showed a significant reduction in the number of office referrals, ISS, and OSS occurred during the five school years when PBIS was implemented when compared to the five years prior to the implementation of PBIS at the school. The data also showed that the degree to which gender played a role in suspension did not differ in the five years prior to PBIS implementation when compared to the five years during which PBIS was implemented at the school. Additionally, the data revealed a statistically significant difference in the number of students in grade 7 who were being suspended during the five years in which PBIS was implemented when compared to students in grade 5. The grade 7 suspension rate is also notably higher than that of grade 8, but this difference failed to reach the level of statistical significance by a small margin.

Download or read book Closing the School Discipline Gap written by Daniel J. Losen and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators remove over 3.45 million students from school annually for disciplinary reasons, despite strong evidence that school suspension policies are harmful to students. The research presented in this volume demonstrates that disciplinary policies and practices that schools control directly exacerbate today's profound inequities in educational opportunity and outcomes. Part I explores how suspensions flow along the lines of race, gender, and disability status. Part II examines potential remedies that show great promise, including a district-wide approach in Cleveland, Ohio, aimed at social and emotional learning strategies. Closing the School Discipline Gap is a call for action that focuses on an area in which public schools can and should make powerful improvements, in a relatively short period of time. Contributors include Robert Balfanz, Jamilia Blake, Dewey Cornell, Jeremy D. Finn, Thalia González, Anne Gregory, Daniel J. Losen, David M. Osher, Russell J. Skiba, Ivory A. Toldson “Closing the School Discipline Gap can make an enormous difference in reducing disciplinary exclusions across the country. This book not only exposes unsound practices and their disparate impact on the historically disadvantaged, but provides educators, policymakers, and community advocates with an array of remedies that are proven effective or hold great promise. Educators, communities, and students alike can benefit from the promising interventions and well-grounded recommendations.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University “For over four decades school discipline policies and practices in too many places have pushed children out of school, especially children of color. Closing the School Discipline Gap shows that adults have the power—and responsibility—to change school climates to better meet the needs of children. This volume is a call to action for policymakers, educators, parents, and students.” —Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children’s Defense Fund
