| Abstract | Organizational changes, within the existing structure of public schooling, have the potential to decrease the oppositional behavior of students and to foster humane, positive learning and working enviroments. It has been documented that managers can create organizational structures that promote positive behaviors and facilitate people's willingness and ability to assume responsibility for what they do within the organization. Applied to schools, this approach assumes it is far easier to change organizational structure and culture than it is to "fix" the people within schools. Additionally, a structural-cultural approach attacks the sources--for most students--of oppositional behavior and thereby increases school authorities' ability to respond appropriately to the relatively few students whose serious misbehavior demands exceptional disciplinary treatment. Thinking about school discipline as a problem of organizational structure and culture is a more useful and pragmatic approach than searching for a one-best technology or single strategy that probably does not exist. Moreover, improving discipline by altering the dominant forms of curriculum and instruction within schools--a strategy that addresses significant sources of student opposition to schooling--is likely to be a more enduring strategy than the historically bankrupt effort to end misbehavior by relying on instructional control via closer monitoring and stricter punishment.
