Discipline and Special Education Students: What’s Going on, How Does It Affect Teachers and Who Is Doing the Misbehaving? By Deona Cox Research Methods Class Fall 2004
Reason for Paper • Teacher Discipline • Inadequate Punishment Given • Lack of Understanding • Teacher Disgust
Plans for Research • Check on whichmodifications, if any, have been made to IDEA ‘97 • Conduct survey of teachers and administrators • Find court cases - pro and con - dealing with discipline and special ed • Collect data on special ed boys vs. girls - misbehavior in classroom
What I Am Looking For • Rules and Regulations 1. Government 2. State 3. Local • Steps Teachers Can Take
Teacher / Administration Survey • How do they feel about discipline in their class concerning special ed students? • Do they believe discipline is handled adequately when special ed students are sent to the office for punishment? • Does the misbehavior of special ed students interfere with classroom learning?
Looking At Boy / Girl Ratios • Are there more special ed boys that are behavioral problems than girls? • If so, why? • Are the misbehaviors the result of the same learning disabilities or do they vary?
