- Description:
- This study sought to determine if there is a difference in the number of discipline referrals in schools where the entire staff was trained and where selected individuals were trained on the implementation of the Lee Canter's Assertive Discipline Model. Three null hypotheses were tested using the t-test for independent samples. The analysis indicated that there was no significant difference in the number of discipline referrals coming from experienced and beginning teachers who were trained on the assertive discipline model. Further, the analysis indicated that there was no significant difference in the number of discipline referrals coming from teachers trained on the Lee Canter's Assertive Discipline Approach and teachers who were not trained on this approach. Also, there was no significant difference based on grade level targeted. It is recommended that the study be replicated using larger samples in more diverse areas.
