International Perspectives on Student Behavior cover

The second volume of companion books on comparative student discipline identifies the best practices in dealing with student misconduct, on six continents, in a legally sound manner. It is essential for educators to examine national as well as international practices addressing student misconduct in schools because learner misbehavior often has a detrimental effect on the quality of teaching and learning in elementary and secondary schools. The countries covered are Brazil, China, Malaysia, Turkey and South Africa.

Identifying the best practices in school disciplinary matters is key to any learning environment.  While student discipline is often challenging for new teachers, more experienced teachers also benefit from inquiry into alternative forms of discipline.  This volume examines what approach educators use in ten other countries when addressing student misconduct.  In addition to classroom discipline, the volume also analyzes more serious forms of student misconduct, including criminal offenses.  New and experienced educators will benefit from exploring these successful strategies used globally in addressing student misconduct. -- Suzanne Eckes, professor, department of educational leadership and policy studies, Indiana University, president-elect, Education Law Association (ELA)
