File Description [top]

The ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) database is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. ERIC is a bibliographic database that contains education-related documents and journal articles. ERIC includes records of many different types of documents: research/technical reports, conference papers, conference proceedings, program descriptions, opinion papers, bibliographies, state-of-the-art reviews, legal/legislative/regulatory materials, dissertations, teaching guides, curriculum materials, lesson plans, course descriptions, pamphlets, guides, and other "fugitive" materials.

The ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS) makes available many of the documents announced in ERIC in reproduced paper copy and/or microfiche.

  /AB    Educating the 21st century learner requires utilizing innovative 
    strategies. Student behavior must be addressed appropriately to allow 
    educators to fulfill their responsibility to America's students. Creative 
    disciplinary methods motivate all students to develop behavior traits that 
    will assist them with their academic and personal success. The purpose of 
    this essay is to investigate alternative effective disciplinary 
    consequences. Educating the 21st century students entails numerous and 
    somewhat overwhelming challenges. An increasing number of students enter 
    academia with deficits stemming from poverty to language barriers. 
    Nevertheless, schools cannot shirk their responsibility. Schools must 
    educate the ever-changing student with less resources and higher stakes due 
    to state and nationally imposed accountability standards. Schools must be 
    able to meet the challenge of educating all students in an environment that 
    is safe and allows the student to feel secure (Hawkins, Catalono, 
    Kosterman, Abbott, & Hill, 1999.). Historically schools have been viewed as 
    the place to address the ills of society (Mayer, 1995; Walker et al., 
    1996.).
