| Abstract: | In this statewide, multiyear investigation, the relationship between teacher inexperience levels and student discipline assignments into in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, and Disciplinary Alternative Education Program placements at small-size Texas high school campuses with an enrollment of less than 1,000 students was addressed. An analysis of each discipline placement was conducted for the 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2018-2019 school years. Statistical analyses revealed the presence of statistically significant relationships between teacher inexperience and student disciplinary consequence assignments. The number of students assigned exclusionary discipline consequences was higher when higher percentages of inexperienced teachers were present. Implications and recommendations for future research were made. |
