Based on extensive research, this comprehensive book proposes an alternative view of discipline that incorporates a balance between punishment and positive reinforcement. The authors provide a practical framework for designing and implementing a student discipline programme that includes effective schoolwide strategies, classroom management techniques, non-traditional solutions to discipline problems and studies of types of student misbehaviour. Case studies and examples from model programmes and sample documentation are also included.
