Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of exclusionary discipline practices, which involves the removal of the student from the educational environment, continues to be a response used by schools for addressing student misconduct or delinquency. A major concern of stakeholders is that these types of discipline approaches may end up producing more negative outcomes for students (e.g., involvement in the criminal justice system or dropping out). Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs (DAEPs), a type of exclusionary discipline, are one of the more widely used tools used by schools. However, limited research has been conducted to understand how these programs operate and impact students. The purpose of this study was to understand the types of practices and support systems that are being implemented in DAEPs in Texas. Further, this study examined the relationship between program characteristics of a DAEP and its impact on recidivism to a DAEP. A mixed-methods approach was conducted. Specifically, an online survey was administered to DAEP principals to gather information on the types of practices implemented and an examination of the relationship with the rate of student recidivism. Next, follow-up interviews were conducted with DAEP principals from campuses that were found to have the highest and lowest student return rates to their DAEP.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research reveals that disciplinary alternative education programs (DAEPs) are growing at an alarming rate. What are schools doing to ensure success for those students who are placed in a DAEP? In this descriptive qualitative research study, I examined how DAEPs can operate at a more effective level in order to provide a restorative environment, resulting in a decreased recidivism rate for troubled youth. In order to achieve this overall objective, the following research questions framed this study RQ1: What are the qualities in a disciplinary alternative education program setting that lead to either success or failure of a DAEP program? RQ2: Why do students continue to commit offenses which lead to multiple assignments in a disciplinary alternative education program? RQ3: How does a disciplinary alternative education program provide a restorative environment for troubled youth in order to decrease recidivism? RQ4: What resources are available to reduce the amount of repeat student assignments to DAEP? Participants were 12 North Texas secondary school students with multiple assignments to DAEPs and 12 North Texas secondary counselors who provide emotional and behavioral supports to these students. The findings indicate there is a high need for the implementation of transitional supports, a high need for consistent and targeted counselor support and resources, a high need to change student behavior, a high need to build positive relationships, and a high need to address the environmental (social) factors that influence behavior.

Download or read book Alternative Discipline written by Neil A. G. McPhie and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative discipline is an approach to addressing misconduct that enables supervisors to consider the nature of the offense, and the personality of the employee, when crafting a response that has the greatest potential to help the employee to avoid future misconduct. For ex., Fed. supervisors have the authority to suspend an employee without pay if the employee misbehaves -- but what if the supervisor thinks another method may have a better chance of changing the employee¿s behavior? This report looks at what agencies are doing in this area. Few agencies have a formal policy on alternative discipline, and many agencies do not provide formal training or guidance. Agencies are encouraged to consider alternative discipline.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of disciplinary alternative education programs (DAEPs) is to provide an alternative educational environment for students removed from their regular school due to behavioral infractions of the student code of conduct. Few studies have explored teachers’ perceptions of DAEPs regarding effective practices and strategies for improving student outcomes. The qualitative study examined teachers’ perceptions of the effect of DAEP placement on students in a major metropolitan school district in Texas. The research questions examined teachers’ perceptions of challenges encountered by students placed in DAEPs and strategies for improving student behavior and reducing the rate of recidivism. The study analyzed responses provided by teachers to a questionnaire (n= 12) via Google forms. Findings from the study support recommendations stating that students can improve their behavior through social skills instruction and purposeful interventions aimed at eliminating the unacceptable behavior. Recommendations by the teachers support the use of instructional and positive behavior management strategies for reducing recidivism and improving student behavior and academic outcome. Other findings and recommendations from the study suggest the need to build positive relationships with students, social and academic skill instruction and interventions, consistency and structure in setting behavior expectations, implementing alternative behavior management practices that are non-punitive. Alternative approaches to punitive disciplinary were recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the school-level impact of punitive zero-tolerance education policies through an ethnographic study of the daily practices in place at a 6th - 12th grade Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) in Texas. This is the first ethnography of a public DAEP in Texas, a product of zero-tolerance policy designed to punish and secondly to educate. The analysis draws from a rich set of data consisting of 27 months of participant observations, 12 of these months as a substitute teacher, 90 in-depth interviews with program staff, students, parents, student survey, and an archive of student disciplinary documents. The study addresses four research questions: 1) How does the penetration of the carceral arm of the criminal justice system into public schools affect the quality of education? 2) How is discipline accomplished in this program, specifically, what are its forms, how does it vary, what is the extent of its operation, and what are its effects? 3) How does this experience vary by race, gender, class, and citizenship status? And 4) How do these disciplinary practices impact teachers, students, and families? DAEPs have little state over site, a dropout rate five times higher than mainstream schools in Texas, and have become a more common academic transition point for boys, Latinos, black, and low-income youth. This in-depth study of a DAEP offers a nuanced understanding of the form, effects, variation, and extension of discipline within and beyond the program's bounds, and contributes to our understanding of the micro-effects of punitive school policies on children, their families, and school authorities. Additionally, it examines one way the punitive state exerts discipline over marginalized youth populations through disciplinary school practices. Lastly, the dissertation provides the knowledge needed to improve the educational experiences of the most vulnerable youth populations.
