  1. Did you see Dr. Phil’s show on Corporal Punishment? Here’s additional thoughts…

  2. Changing Behavior • I frequently hear people say that “Corporal Punishment should come back.” • I have even heard people say “Corporal Punishment Disappeared and School Resource Officers Showed Up.” • The following slides show the reality of those statements…or lack thereof.

  3. “What them kids need….(sic)” 23 states still have no ban on corporal punishment… US Dept of Education: Office of Civil Rights

  4. State Rank vs. Corporal Punishment Top ten for paddling Not outlawed

  5. If corporal punishment was the cure… • Wouldn’t the states with the highest rates of corporal punishment have the highest academic achievement?

  6. Corporal Punishment • Corporal Punishment Data gathered from: • Office of Civil Rights • National Education Association

  7. Morgan Quitno’s Education State Rankings21 points of consideration for “smartest state” • Public Elementary and Secondary School Revenue per $1,000 Personal Income (Table 56) + • Percent of Public Elementary and Secondary School Current Expenditures used for Instruction (Table 134) + • Percent of Population Graduated from High School (Table 171) + • Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate for Public High Schools (Table 174) + • Percent of Public School Fourth Graders Proficient or Better in Reading (Table 203) + • Percent of Public School Eighth Graders Proficient or Better in Reading (Table 211) + • Percent of Public School Fourth Graders Proficient or Better in Writing (Table 219) + • Percent of Public School Eighth Graders Proficient or Better in Writing (Table 227) + • Percent of Public School Fourth Graders Proficient or Better in Mathematics (Table 235) + • Percent of Public School Eighth Graders Proficient or Better in Mathematics (Table 243) + • Average Teacher Salary as a Percent of Average Annual Pay of All Workers (Table 364) + • Average Daily Attendance as a Percent of Fall Enrollment in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools (Table 398) + • Percent of School-Age Population in Public Schools (Table 389) + • High School Drop Out Rate (Table 191) - • Special Education Pupil-Teacher Ratio (Table 339) - • Percent of Public Elementary and Secondary School Staff Who are School District Administrators (Table 380) - • Average Class Size in Public Elementary Schools (Table 425) - • Average Class Size in Public Secondary Schools (Table 426) - • Median Pupil-Teacher Ratio in Public Primary Schools (Table 429) - • Median Pupil-Teacher Ratio in Public Middle Schools (Table 432) - • Median Pupil-Teacher Ratio in Public High Schools (Table 435) -

  8. So is paddling the answer? • No…want to know more about Positive Interventions? • Check out www.pbis.org for school-wide positive behavior support. • Discipline means to “teach” not to paddle, ridicule, kick out, suspend, or fail. • We need to teach children the behaviors we want to see. • We need to model the behaviors we want to see. • We need to give students opportunities to practice these behaviors. • We need to catch students being good and label appropriate behaviors.

  9. Should we reward children? • Is it harmful to “catch students being good?” • “…our research team has conducted a series of reviews and analysis of (the reward) literature; our conclusion is that there is no inherent negative property of reward. Our analyses indicate that the argument against the use of rewards is an overgeneralization based on a narrow set of circumstances.” • Cameron, 2002 • Cameron & Pierce, 1994, 2002 • Cameron, Banko & Pierce, 2001

  10. We can improve behavior by 80% just by pointing out what one student is doing correctly. • Shores, Gunter, and Jack (1993) researched schools and measured how often students were doing the right thing and they found that students comply with the rules 80% of the time. • Shores, Gunter, and Jack (1993) then measured how often the adults in the environment complimented students for their appropriate behavior. What percentage do you think they found?

  11. 80%

  12. 50%

  13. 25%

  14. 1.44%

  15. We have an intervention that improves behavior by 80% and we use it 1.44% of the time.
