ABSTRACT: To help educators and community members improve
elementary and secondary educational practices, the Phi
Delta Kappa Commission on Discipline assembled this
directory of over 500 public and private schools reported
to have exemplary discipline. Recommendations for schools
to be included came from commission members' personal
networks, organizations for educational innovation and
administration, and a literature review. Using data drawn
from a questionnaire survey, the directory lists schools in
ten U.S. geographic regions and Canada. The entry for each
school gives its name, address, telephone number, an
administrator or contact-person, urban or rural location,
public or private type, grade levels, number of staff and
students, and short descriptive phrases about its
disciplinary program activities. Over 85 descriptive
phrases are used, covering more than 60 categories of
activities, including volunteer programs, rewards, school
climate, school-community relations, curriculum, due
process, public relations, policy-making, and student and
staff involvement. Four appendices present aggregate data
on the schools' demographic characteristics, an
alphabetical index of the schools, an index by disciplinary
program activities, and a copy of the survey questionnaire.
