Beschreibung
School Discipline offers a comprehensive exploration of how disciplinary policies in American schools have evolved, and how these policies impact student behavior and the overall educational environment.
Examining the shift from punitive approaches, like zero tolerance, towards restorative justice and positive behavioral interventions, the book highlights the social and political influences shaping these changes, including legal precedents and evolving understandings of adolescent development.
It reveals how traditional disciplinary measures can disproportionately affect marginalized students, potentially leading to cycles of disengagement.
The book argues that effective disciplinary policies should be evidence-based, equitable, and supportive.
Grounded in diverse data sources, including large-scale studies, interviews, and legal analyses, it connects school discipline to broader fields like sociology and criminology.
School Discipline begins by defining key terms and tracing the historical roots of current practices, then analyzes the impact of specific policies on school climate and academic achievement.
Ultimately, it provides practical strategies for educators, administrators, and policymakers seeking to create more inclusive learning environments, addressing ongoing debates about the use of suspensions and the role of law enforcement in schools.
