Progressive Discipline

The objective of this study was to examine the disciplinary approaches being used in secondary schools for student violations of school cannabis policies. Survey data from 134 Canadian secondary schools participating in the Cannabis use, Obesity, Mental health, Physical activity, Alcohol use, Smoking, and Sedentary behaviour (COMPASS) study were used from the school year immediately following cannabis legalization in Canada (2018/19). Despite all schools reporting always/sometimes using a progressive discipline approach, punitive consequences (suspension, alert police) remain prevalent as first-offence options, with fewer schools indicating supportive responses (counselling, cessation/educational programs). Schools were classified into disciplinary approach styles, with most schools using Authoritarian and Authoritative approaches, followed by Neglectful and Permissive/Supportive styles. Further support for schools boards in implementing progressive discipline and supportive approaches may be of benefit.

Fundamental Goal

Abstract The fundamental goal of WOE was to determine whether and how autobiography production can enhance and provide valuable data about African American seniors’ mental health, past and present. The second goal of WOE was to determine whether and how project partners could use the findings from WOE, particularly those about resilience and strategies for coping with challenging situations, as the basis for new interventions, studies, publications, curricula, and educational programs for learners across contexts, generations, levels, and disciplines. Outcomes are illustrated by rich examples of the genesis, history, products and pedagogy of the project.
