CARE Model for my Action Research Plan

Concerns:
1. Teachers need to know what is expected of them from the Administration.
2. Teachers need to know when to send students to the office.
3. Teachers need to know what the procedures are from the Administration point of view.

Affirmations:
1. Communication must remani strong between the Administration and the teachers.
2. Follow-through must continue with all discipline procedures that occur.
3. Input of discipline information into Eduphoria must continue when a student is sent to the office, this is a requirement.

Recommendations:
1. Procedural flow chart must be disseminated to all staff in order to communicate the procedures for discipline before school begins.
2. Staff must be exposed to Love and Logic for the classroom before school begins.
3. Staff must be exposed to Capturing Kids' Hearts before school begins.

Evaulate:
1. Feedback loops must be in constant use throughout the school year to keep a pulse on issues that arise.
2. Staff surveys/responses to blog must continue to guage how the teachers feel about the process/program.
3. Eduphoria reports will be able to help us track the data throughout the year regarding discipline referrals.
