For this module’s assignment, assume you are a candidate for the position of principal at the hypothetical Walters School. You have been asked to review and provide an analysis on data related to discipline at this school.
You will begin by analyzing three years of office discipline referral data to identify trends and assess for disproportionality among ethnic and gender student groups.
You will then conduct your own research (online and/or offline) to identify 1) the top five major disciplinary issues among elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools in general (your choice of level), and 2) major responses of these schools to these disciplinary issues with respect to their student groups. Finally, you will discuss your personal perspective on the greatest issue in school discipline today.
Your analysis will include two parts, both of which will be submitted in one document.
View/Download the Module 1: Data Analysis Packet Download Module 1: Data Analysis Packet(PDF) for office referrals at the case-study school.
Carefully study the packet, and look for trends and patterns in the data.
Compose your responses for Part 1 and Part 2 in a 7- to 8-page Word document (not including the title and references pages). Use APA format for the title page, references page, and citations.
Part 1: Data Analysis
Table 1: Data Summary of Office Referrals for Disciplinary Incidents
Study the progression of discipline incidents over the three years.
Identify and describe in detail three major trends/patterns from these data.
Table 2: Data Summary of Disciplinary Actions on Office Referrals
Study the progression of disciplinary actions over the three years.
Identify and describe in detail three major trends/patterns from these data.
Look at all the data shown in the tables and bar graphs.
Generally, what do you observe happening with different student groups at the school in regard to disciplinary incidents and actions?
State a hypothesis based on the trends you identified in your data analysis.
Explain how you would confirm your hypothesis.
Part 2: Research
In Part 2 of the analysis, you will conduct research to determine the top five major disciplinary issues for either elementary, middle, or high schools and the major school-based responses to these issues.
Compose a 5-page paper identifying:
the top five major disciplinary issues among elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools in general (your choice of level), and
major responses of these schools to these disciplinary issues with respect to their student groups.
Finally, you will discuss your personal perspective on the greatest issue in school discipline today.
Use APA format for citations. Include at least one professional, scholarly source from outside the course.
