“…In making these goals, input may be solicited by schools from staff, families, students and other stakeholders and to better understand the school climate, a needs assessment should be conducted. Approaches should then be developed by schools so that the identified needs would be addressed and progress would be achieved towards its goals [31].…”

“…Families should be involved by schools to the highest extent possible so that policies would be developed and implemented effectively. For instance, families as well as students and staff should be actively involved in the school's policy review and development, regular communication with families should be done by schools specifically on disciplinary incidents and transparency of the expectations for school behavior, and discipline policy and procedures should be employed [31].…”

“…On-going training of school staff would allow schools to equip the work force with the skills and appropriate strategies to reinforce expected behaviors and fairly and equitably respond to misconduct of students. It is necessary to embrace a commitment to routinely examine school policy and practices, as well as to track the school's progress toward its climate and discipline goals [31]. Consequently, the school must ensure that proper measures are taken to maintain peace and order on campus and to prevent it from breaking down [35].…”

“…Support and safety may appear to be competing priorities but they are indeed complementary. Creating a safe and positive environment in schools where effective teaching occurs and students are inspired to explore a rigorous curriculum is impossible without also providing discipline policies and practices proportional, fair and effectively preventing and changing student's inappropriate behavior, ensuring that those policies are applied equitably Student support, in the form of positive climates, prevention, and focused intervention, will assist schools in creating not just a secure and productive learning environment, but also in encouraging kids to stay in school and become more engaged in their studies [31].…”

This study sought to explore the extent to which and how principals can help decrease the use of out-of-school suspension and close the racial discipline gap. This study comprised a qualitative case study of a principal in an urban school district. Data derive from in-depth interviews with current and former campus and district leaders, historical data, and documents. The principal’s transformational actions, together with support from the district, helped to improve the school’s culture, and decreased the use of OSS, but were not sufficient to close the racial discipline gap.

Introduction: Learner indiscipline has emerged as a global cause for concern for educators and parents in the 21st century. This study sought to develop a framework for the successful implementation of positive discipline. The study sought to provide answers revolving around the contributing factors towards learner indiscipline, the effects of indiscipline on teaching and learning, educators’ perceptions on positive discipline, factors leading to the ineffective implementation of positive discipline and the constituents of an effective framework for implementing positive discipline. Methods: The study adopted a qualitative approach. Districts were identified utilising convenience sampling, while participants were sampled purposively. Data collection comprised semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Six schools from two districts in the Mpumalanga Province were selected as the study sample. The sample comprised twenty-four participants, including principals, class teachers, Life Orientation teachers, and chairpersons of School Governing Bodies from each school. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse the data and present the findings. Results: The findings revealed that learner indiscipline is affected by several contributing factors such as family situation, community setting, human rights, peer pressure, educators, and learners themselves. Lack of stakeholder engagement, absence of training, overemphasis on learners’ rights and conditioning of educators and parents on corporal punishment are the factors that have led to the ineffective implementation of positive discipline. Discussion:To ensure the implementation of positive discipline is successful, a framework should support a multi-stakeholder consideration to engagement. Ubuntu values should be incorporated in re-packaging the positive discipline toolkit so that it suits the local context. Limitations: Only two education districts in one province of South Africa formed part of the study. Conclusions: Educators are to adopt a revised curriculum that accommodates positive discipline and Ubuntu values in related subjects taught in school. Effective implementation requires regular monitoring, evaluation and reviewing of the positive discipline approach. The study proposed an Afrocentric framework for the implementation of positive discipline.
