Action Research Plan - The Real Deal

So here is the plan for my research:

Action Research Plan EDLD 5301

Research Goal: To determine how the Discipline Center has affected school discipline and school climate at Jacksonville High School.

Objective 1: Determine the numerical difference in the total number of office referrals from 2008-2009 year (year prior to the implementation of the Discipline Center) and 2009-2010 year (year Discipline Center was implemented).

Objective 2: Determine the numerical difference in the referrals for student versus student and student versus teacher confrontations from the 2008-2009 school year and the 2009-2010 school year.

Objective 3: Determine if students perceive improved school discipline and climate as a result of the implementation of the Discipline Center.
