Engage in Self Reflection

I will ask myself several questions.



Are teacher referrals seen as a problem pertaining to student achievement on the Lee Middle School campus?



Can I get campus buy in to solve this problem?

Exploring Programmatic Problems

Discuss with my campus supervisor the results of the gathered data. I will lay out my findings and the problem areas of greatest concern. The remedies of fixing the office referral problems could create frustrations among teachers. How do we ease those feelings while promoting a successful school climate?

Determining Direction

The data has made obvious the need for change. Students that are absent from class due to discipline do not perform to satisfaction. The new direction will be the enhancement of our already placed discipline management system at Lee Middle School. The current policy of Out Of School placement will be modified to increase student achievement.
