- Summary:
-
Over the past 5 years, McKnight Middle School in Renton, Washington, has instituted a new discipline policy, integrated a study skills program throughout the curriculum, upgraded the curriculum, created several reward and recognition policies for both students and teachers, and increased parent and district involvement. The discipline policy features new attendance rules, a new code of conduct, the use of inschool suspensions, and a vandalism prevention program. After years with a reputation for student misbehavior, McKnight now has the lowest suspension rate in the district and vandalism costs have been cut substantially. The study skills program includes schoolwide formats for assignments, rules for keeping school notebooks organized, and training in listening, note-taking, reading, and writing skills. Curricular improvements include block teaching of social studies and language arts, a reading program, and a special math program placing students by individual achievement level. Recognition is provided through awards assemblies, special honors for students completing assignments, and broadcast acknowledgment of special efforts by students or staff members. District support for faculty development and the growth of a strong parents' group have also aided school improvement. Just starting are a substance abuse program and expanded curriculum development efforts. (PGD)
