This part of the School Management Handbook provides the elementary school administrator with a quick overview of several aspects of school discipline. The first section introduces concepts central to developing effective school discipline policy, including the value of focusing on preventing rather than simply punishing misbehavior; prioritization of disciplinary aims; the roles of the principal and the teacher; the place of student codes and handbooks; and the roles of parents and the community. Section 2 discusses assertive discipline, a technique for establishing good student behavior habits. Inschool suspension is the topic of section 3. The fourth and last section discusses students' constitutional rights in the areas of expression, dress, religion, publications, and freedom from prior restraint, and notes relevant court decisions. Specific recommendations for disciplinary policy accompany each section of the document. (PGD)
