This qualitative case study involved addressing rates of general education elementary school teachers with 0 to 5 years of teaching experience who referred students with disabilities to the office for their behavior, which were twice as often as nondisabled students. Based on the conceptual framework of Weiner's Attribution Theory, teacher's lack of knowledge of specific disabilities and strategies for modifying negative behaviors exhibited by students with disabilities were evident in their disciplinary procedures. This qualitative case study involved examining elementary-level general education teachers with 0 to 5 years of teaching experience, attitudes, and perceptions regarding disciplining students with disabilities. Research questions that guided this study involved factors that may have impacted increases in referrals among students with disabilities and the effectiveness of strategies used by teachers. Data were collected from 12 elementary general education teachers with 0 to 5 years of teaching experience using in-depth structured interviews, behavioral documentation, and reflective journals to answer research questions. Using an open coding system, findings indicated that general education teachers with 0 to 5 years of teaching experience, believed lack of teacher training was the main factor for the increase in behavior referrals. As a result of these findings, a 3-day professional development was created. Study results were used to address the disproportionality of discipline referrals among students with disabilities. Social change may occur as more rural school districts in Southwest Georgia begin to implement training that focuses on providing strategies that will lead to a decrease in behaviors and an increase in student achievement on the elementary level.
