3. Introduction: Mr. Nichols thanked everyone for attending. He explained why the subcommittee was developed; the goal is to have a workable plan ready for the fall. Mrs. Everly thanked Mr. Nichols for his leadership on the Board, and by bringing this conversation to the table, we can only get better. At the administrator meeting last week with Mrs. Joseph, administrators talked about the communication issues within the discipline process that need to be worked out; there is a need to tighten up communication between the office and teacher. Mr. Nichols noted that central office administrators have already been working very hard on this subject, but he thinks it is important for administrators to receive input from teachers and parents. …show more content…
Pollzzie recommended a book titled Better Than Carrots or Sticks: Restorative Practices for Positive Classroom Management. The book details why restorative practice exists. We have done this in our district; it just was not called restorative practice. Understanding restorative practice and why it is used; what is the difference between traditional ways of teaching versus restorative practice.
• The code of conduct is followed for students who get into an altercation. The students would probably serve a suspension time, in or out of school. We are expanding the inhouse opportunities to the elementary buildings next year, and all of the inhouse settings should have a restorative component. Next week, June 25, 26, 27, and 28 there will be a restorative practice inservice opportunity for anyone who would like to attend.
• What about the kid who does not want restorative practice? The challenge found with restorative practice is students lack empathy to understand that they have done something to hurt someone else. Cannot have restorative practice without empathy and honesty. Restorative practice cannot work without ownership. Sometimes, staff who are in charge of discipline do not have time to put restorative practice in

I plan to establish discipline by warning those students who misbehave at first giving them two chances to act appropriately. If a student still misbehaves, I will cut their privilege to go outside down by five or ten minutes according to the severity of their inappropriate behavior. If a child still misbehaves, I will take the issue to
Using Glickman (2014) as a reference point, there are two types of opportunity for learning that could be used to make staff development meaningful to teachers: integrated school-wide staff development and individual professional development. When using an integrated school-wide professional development, "it is critical that all members of the school community provide input into the school wide professional development goals” (Glickman, Gordon and Ross-Gordon, 2014). Moreover, the administration must provide an expansive objective for professional development so that all participants can adopt it and stay consistent with the school’s objective. A perfect example of a school-wide professional development would be addressing student discipline (Glickman et al., 2014). While certain groups of teachers might want to compare their decision with other schools, other groups could choose ”to attend a training program on effective discipline” (Glickman et al., 2014). When using individual professional development as an opportunity for learning, it is significant to consider the teacher’s personal input to the school-wide
Restorative practice provides the framework in repairing damaged relationships, especially those that have been affected through bullying. Through this method, both the offender and victim bring a sense of closure on the part of restoration action and forgiveness respectively.

Time, place of meeting, and environment - The school board meeting is held at Jones Magnet Middle School, 1819 Nickerson Blvd. at 6:30 p.m. The meeting is held in the auditorium and it is open to the public. The members of the board sat next to one another on stage while the visitors sat t in the audience. There was a clear distinction between the members and visitors. The environment is very structured and the members of the Board were task orientated. There was a great sense of group cohesiveness among the members and I could see there was a great deal of respect.
As principal of TWH, I feel it is vital to keep the urgency focused on academics. It is my belief that if we set students up for challenging and engaging classroom instruction, discipline issues will start to lessen. However, my teachers will feel supported and respected, and that will be communicated regularly to our students and school community. “…leaders treat others fairly, equitably, and with dignity and respect—and they establish the expectation that others in the school community act in a similar manner” (Murphy, 2006).
There was a young boy in the class who has many behavioral issues, he would tend to disrupt the class, or start interfering with another student’s learning. Seeing him “as the problem child” in the class; I would assume when he was involved in confrontation with another student it was his fault right away, until I would listen to the whole story. I think this is just

Restorative surgery can be entirely costly, with a few strategies costing as much as a little auto.

When implementing a discipline program, it is important that a teacher identify the difference between misbehavior and off task behavior. Misbehavior is a more serious action and should be treated accordingly. Misbehavior includes actions that are pre-meditated, habitual, unsafe, or demeaning. Off-task behavior includes actions like, talking out of turn or with other students, doing activities other than what the teacher has assigned, and lack of following instructions. While both types of behavior cause unwanted classroom distraction and should not be tolerated, there is an important difference between the two that must be identified. In the case of off-task behavior, the strategy to guide the student back on-task may require imposing a consequence as well as making an adjustment to the classroom management plan in order to re-route the student. In the case of misbehavior, imposing a consequence along with the addition of recruiting support from parents or administration may be needed to retrain the behavior.(Ross, 2009)
