How Principals Balance Control and Care in Urban School Discipline
Golann, Joanne W.; Jones, Ashley
Urban Education, v59 n1 p31-62 2024
School discipline has been a site of contention and reform. In this study, we draw from 17 interviews with traditional and charter school principals in one mid-sized urban school district to examine how principals use discipline as a tool to both maintain control and demonstrate care. Our study calls attention to different strategies principals use to establish this balance, including reducing suspensions, moderating "no-excuses" systems, and building positive student--teacher relationships. We also make a theoretical contribution by showing how schools and school leaders respond to competing institutional logics in developing practices and policies.
