Initial Idea - Documentary- Discipline- Sidney Stringer Academy.

Is discipline working at YOUR school?

My initial idea is to interview the principle also to interview the co-ordinator of the time out room and the co-ordinator of the IER so see how the discipline runs and the children that are being sent there taking it as an advantage to get out of their lessons or if it is actually helping the children in their learning. my documentary will also see if sending the kids to the IER or time out room is effecting their learning. i will also be talking to the students to see what they think of the time out room and the IER and i will also be talking to the house heads to see what they also think of the time out room and the IER and if it is disciplining the children. The second Part of my idea is to see if discipline is working in other schools as well as sidney stringer.

To Do List

Things to do:

  • book appointments with the principle and house heads.( interview Mrs Tomes and get her view on the discipline.
  • interview some students and the co-ordinators.
  •  talk to students that have been in the time out room and the IER and students that haven't been in there.
  • how a different school shows discipline within in the school and if they live up to the standards of there discipline regulations.
  • organise who is doing which part int the documentary.
