Before discussing discipline policies and practices specifically, the authors survey the basis for discipline, the kinds of discipline, the needs and sources of discipline, and the relationships between parents and students and discipline. The authors point out the need for encouraging self-discipline and make the point that discipline and punishment are not the same thing. The bulk of the booklet discusses and provides examples of discipline policies on the district, building, and classroom levels. The discussion of classroom discipline provides general tips on classroom control, an analysis of problem types and problem situations, and suggestions for establishing classroom standards. (IRT)
