Updated for the 2006 IDEA Part B regulations!

The most common forms of discipline used by schools are expulsion and suspension, but removal from school can be seen more as a reward than as punishment -- encouraging misbehavior. This book discusses the need for alternative solutions to behavior problems and the legal issues surrounding the use of expulsion and suspension.

This newly updated resource details discipline techniques that move away from the old concept that discipline must be punishment and that focus on ways to help students make acceptable choices. You learn:

• The what, when and how of instructional discipline
• Precision planning to prevent misbehavior and what to do when problems occur
• How positive whole school activities can boost achievement in behavior and academics
• A menu of alternatives to suspension for specific behaviors
• And much more
