Write Historically, the school most commonly resorts to paddling, detentions, in-school suspensions, and out-of-school suspensions. More recently, newer teachers have been rewarding children for behaving appropriately and these teachers refuse to engage in any of the historically more common behavior management practices. The administration is concerned that the newer, “softer” strategies being used by these teachers are going to lead to a surge of out-of-control problem behaviors in the school. It is your job to help determine which route the school will take with their behavioral strategies, the more traditional paddling, detention giving, and suspending route, or the newer, reward-driven route. Support your position using language and terminology from your Applied Behavior Analysis coursework, as well as evidence-based practices discussed. Including supporting scientific literature will really drive your point home. I would like to take the most common position of corporal punishment ie.. paddling, detentions, in-school suspensions, and out-of-school suspensions BUT if you believe the other position would be easier let me know. I do see the value of each. See the example Position Statement outline and the Position Statement rubric that I attached from the professor.
