At several of the schools that I have taught at lack of follow
through regarding discplince by administration was seen as a
major problem. From my experience what works best is when
there is a consistent discpline policy that is applied fairly
by all teachers and staff to all students. I have also found
that by recognizing positive student behaviors and quickly and
consistently redirecting negative behaviors has been very
succesful.
