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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-school suspension (ISS) is widely used in schools, but its efficacy in deterring future misbehavior has long been suspect. Early writings on ISS indicate that the programs were expected to have a character-building aspect to them, but such aspects appear to be missing from current ISS programs. Concurrently, an increased emphasis in character education appears evident. This study questioned the extent to which ISS at schools that practice some form of character education promotes the social and academic success of students. To gauge that effectiveness, a qualitative multiple-case study was conducted. Interviews and site visits were conducted at three West Texas schools during the spring semester of the 2013-14 school year. Administrators, teachers, parents, and students were interviewed to determine their perceptions of ISS and its efficacy. Observations and descriptions of the programs as given by participants were compared to those of early writers, including a specific description given by Hayes Mizell (1978), to determine whether ISS was being practiced according to its earlier ideals. The study found that ISS in schools where character education was practiced was moderately effective in promoting the social success of assigned students, but was ineffective in promoting their academic success. Schools in this study were found to partially adhered to the principles espoused by Mizell (1978). Various affective and functional factors could have an impact on ISS efficacy as a punitive measure. Participants were divided on their assessment of ISS. Almost all participants supportive of character education efforts, but many recognized the importance of consistent expectations and reinforcement.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of the behavior intervention programs, Positive Behavior Intervention Support and Character Academy impact suspensions of African American students in a local education agency (LEA) in northeastern North Carolina. Based on the literature review, suspension has been an issue for school officials for the past three decades (Unidos & Unidos, 2005). Students have been and continue to be derailed into the juvenile justice system as a result of suspensions. Students who are forced onto what is known as the school house to jailhouse track suffer dire consequences (Unidos & Unidos, 2005). A school-wide discipline plan is a first and necessary step in a continuum for providing behavior support to all students (Colvin, 2007). An alternative is a comprehensive, proactive approach to discipline known as School-Wide Behavior Support (Skiba & Sprauge, 2008). Character Academy is a program that is used in place of suspensions (Smith, 2013). The data used for this research study were collected from an LEA in northeastern North Carolina. To answer the study questions, participant interview and school district suspension data reports were collected and triangulated. Data were collected through interviews with students, teachers, parents, and school administrators at the elementary, middle, and high school levels as well as school district leadership. School district suspension data were collected from the North Carolina Annual Report of Suspensions and Expulsions for the school years: 2011-12; 2012-13; and 2013-14 from Northampton County Schools. Based on the findings, the district should continue use of the PBIS program but train a district team of veteran teachers, administrators, and central office support personnel on all modules of the PBIS program to help implement and support the use of the program throughout the district. The district should discontinue the use of the Character Academy Program.

Book excerpt: This book will be a guide to assisting disruptive students who are constantly being placed in IN School; Suspension without a road map paved for them to be successful. As a school teacher and administrator for the past 24 years, I have noticed students being placed in ISS Programs without any form of therapeutic treatment designed to assist them. This book reveals research study by various authors who have worked in the education setting through out the United States. The book will be a guide for students who are labeled as repeaters in the ISSP, that the their behaviors can be modified using the counseling handbook. As we try to improve our form of educating young people in America, schools have to cope with classroom behaviors, and violence to make sure no child is left behind in receiving an optimal level of education in the 21st century. The book uses an approach that keeps students in schools and keeps them from receiving OSS as an alternative punishment. Students see OSS as a way of being out of the education setting and being at home without any form of education taking place. This book will assist school officials to guide ISS repeaters in the right direction and prevent obstacles from causing them to excel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The schools in Union County have undergone a tremendous amount of growth in the past decade. The growth in the county has led to an increase in discipline problems. In order to provide suspended students a second chance, Union County Public Schools implemented an alternative to suspension program, the Union County Alternative to Suspension Program (UCATS). The UCATS Program provides students suspended for 2 to 10 days the opportunity to earn attendance credit by performing community service in local business agencies in Union County.--The researcher conducted a program evaluation using archival and survey data to answer the research questions: (1) To what extent does the Union County Alternative to Suspension Program (UCATS) fulfill the seven objectives of the program; (2) What are the perceptions of the students, stakeholders, administrators, teachers, parents, and community partners of the UCATS Program as related to the desired outcomes; and (3) What are the strengths and weaknesses of the UCATS Program?--The researcher surveyed and examined historical documents archival data pertaining to students participating in the UCATS Program. The researcher also surveyed teachers, administrators, counselors, and parents of students who were in the program, the UCATS staff and community/business agency supervisors.--The research results indicated that the UCATS Program did not fulfill two of the seven objectives. Students' grades declined after they participated in the program and there was an increase in crime for 4 years and then there was a decrease. The students, parents, and administrators ranked UCATS as the most effective alternative to suspension program. Teachers ranked Saturday detention as the most effective alternative to suspension program.

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.
