Week 4 Reflection

As I wrote up my detailed plan of my research project I could not help but get excited. I am anxious to see how the project turns out and what the data that I collect tells me about the new discipline program we are planning on putting into place. I really hope that all stakeholder's can benefit from the program we are going to put in place. At the same time I know that this is probably not likely and there will be some involved party that will not be in agreement with what we decide to put in place. If the students do not like the idea of having to stay after-school on Friday to serve their consequence for not following the rules I can live with that. On the other hand I hope to hear good things from the teachers and how this current discipline program allows for more fluid classroom time. Only time will tell, but I am prepararing myself for either outcome. I know that many ideas sound good in theory, but sometimes need to be revised in practice. The good thing about our situation is that we are goign to begin with the new discipline program from the first day of school, which gives us the whole year to make changes and hopefully get it right for the following school year.
