Alternative discipline is an approach to addressing misconduct that enables supervisors to consider the nature of the offense, and the personality of the employee, when crafting a response that has the greatest potential to help the employee to avoid future misconduct. For ex., Fed. supervisors have the authority to suspend an employee without pay if the employee misbehaves -- but what if the supervisor thinks another method may have a better chance of changing the employee¿s behavior? This report looks at what agencies are doing in this area. Few agencies have a formal policy on alternative discipline, and many agencies do not provide formal training or guidance. Agencies are encouraged to consider alternative discipline.

This useful guide illustrates reasonable actions that the school administrator should take when a staff member fails to follow policies, procedures, or directives.
