Book Synopsis
Book Purpose
The Dean of Students Playbook provides K–12 deans with a practical leadership framework for creating schools where discipline is consistent, teachers feel supported, students are held accountable with dignity, and every child has the opportunity to succeed.
Rather than serving as the "school disciplinarian," this book positions the dean as one of the most influential instructional leaders in the building—someone who improves school culture through relationships, accountability, and systems.
Using Dr. Jackson's nationally recognized Don't Kick Them Out (DKTO®) Framework, readers will learn how to reduce behavior problems, support teachers, strengthen attendance, build positive relationships with families, and create schools where students thrive.
