  1. This action plan sounds amazing. I'm interested in your make-up of students and how the discipline changes work. Please keep us posted and good luck.

  2. Great action research plan, Brent. I was wondering if and how you will share your findings with the faculty at your campus. I will continue to follow your action research. It is one inquiry I would consider completing at my campus as well. Thanks, and nice work!

  3. Brent, while doing work for my own Action Research I came back to yours because I was wondering what type of reward system, if any, would be implemented for students who donot get into trouble for a six weeks? Please let me know how it goes so that I could possibly bring some recommendations to my campus.

    1. I have have been moving slowly as I analyze all the the discipline data...there is a lot! My question to anyone reading this is...what types of rewards (if any) does your school provide for students that do not get referrals or do you provide rewards for students that don't become repeat offenders??
