ABSTRACT:
School indiscipline continues to be a challenge in Jamaican schools. Because school management is crucial to the reduction of student indiscipline- there is the need to understand the steps taken by school management in Jamaica to arrest indiscipline. This case study sought to investigate the school management strategies of one school in central Jamaica and to describe how these strategies are used to ensure that the school goals are met. Additionally- the study sought to understand how discipline is administered and maintained at the school. This study utilized the qualitative research approach; specifically- the qualitative case study design. Interviews- focus group discussions- and document reviews were used to collect data while analysis of the data was done using content analysis. Ada A.
Lawrence successfully completed a Doctorate program with specialization in Educational Leadership at Atlantic International University. We are very proud of you and wish you further success in all your professional pursuits.
