| | Schoolwide and Classroom Discipline |
 | | Whatever their exact definition, most researchers and writers seem to agree that nowhere is it more true that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" than in disciplining young people in educational settings. |
 | | Structures in which students are given rewards (e.g., verbal, tangible, or privileges) and sanctions (e.g., loss of privileges, such as television time, snacks, or later bedtime) at home, based on their behavior at school, have been shown to improve student behavior (Atkeson and Forehand 1979; Leach and Byrne 1986). |
 | | In addition to this general, strongly supported list of practices associated with well-disciplined classrooms, researchers have identified other approaches which are effective in establishing and maintaining positive, orderly classroom environments. |
