Outline:
Introduction
The Need for Administrative Disciplinary Support
The Principal's Role

From the Paper:

"Finally, as has been previously alluded to, the principal must also act as an administrative resource to the individual classroom teacher. By resource it is meant that the principal must devote time and money towards educating classroom teachers on disciplinary issues and classroom management strategies. The school should devote in-service time to this topic, along with having the administration open to teachers to come and discuss disciplinary questions and issues with them."
