Educators feel overwhelmed by managing challenging behaviors which often leads to burnout and turnover (Clotfelter et al., 2006; Kokkinos, 2007; Simon & Johnson, 2015). However, professional development (PD) in evidenced-based behavior management practices (EBMPs) is sparse with current PD models yielding varied outcomes (Darling-Hammond et…

Behavior-specific praise (BSP) and other forms of positive feedback and public acknowledgment are underutilized in secondary classrooms. Surprisingly, few studies have evaluated the independent effects of BSP in these settings. Using a multiple baseline design with an embedded A/B/B + C condition sequence, the purpose of the current study was to…

Class-wide Function-related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) is a classroom management intervention in which teachers incorporate positive behavior support (PBS) principles by teaching specific classroom expectations and providing feedback on student behavior as part of an interdependent group contingency. Interventions like CW-FIT may be helpful for…

LaBrot, Zachary C.; DeFouw, Emily; Eldridge, Morgan – Education and Treatment of Children, 2021
Several strategies (e.g., performance feedback, video models, tactile prompting) have been found to be effective for improving preservice teachers' use of foundational behavior management skills. However, there is limited research examining these training strategies for promoting preservice clinicians' use of evidence-based behavior management…

Students succeed in school environments that support them in demonstrating prosocial and positive behavior. Student behaviors that disrupt or distract from classroom instruction can result in fewer learning opportunities for students and decreased likelihood of academic success. Behavioral interventions can help students engage in positive…

Shernoff, Elisa S.; Lekwa, Adam L.; Reddy, Linda A.; Davis, William – School Psychology Review, 2020
Using a convergent parallel mixed methods design, we examined changes in teachers' use of praise during instruction (verbal or nonverbal statements or gestures to provide feedback for appropriate behavior) and explored teachers' perceptions regarding barriers and facilitators to using praise during coaching. Forty-eight teachers who identified…

Michelle L. Simmons; Robin H. Lock; Janna Brendle; Laurie A. Sharp – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2020
Behavior-specific praise has been deemed an effective, evidence-based positive behavioral intervention and support practice for use among high school students with severe intellectual disabilities. However, teachers are not adequately trained to use such practices with fidelity. One way to address this shortcoming is by implementing a performance…

Needham, Mick; Ross, Peter; Slonski, Karen; Wells, Steven; Wood, Andrew W. – Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2019
There is a current and growing need for evidence-based practices aimed at improving the social skills of adults with intellectual disabilities (ID). Despite an abundance of research on strategies to improve the social skills of young children with ID, there is limited research on interventions aimed at improving prosocial behaviors of adults with…

LaBrot, Zachary C.; Dufrene, Brad A.; Whipple, Heather; McCargo, Morgan; Pasqua, Jamie L. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
School-based consultation is effective for improving teachers' use of evidence-based classroom management strategies. However, teachers often respond differentially to varying types of consultation strategies. This study utilized a multiple baseline design across four teachers (i.e., two preschool and two elementary) to examine the effectiveness…

Freeman, Jennifer – Beyond Behavior, 2018
Researchers have identified low-intensity classroom management strategies that, when implemented consistently, lead to significant improvements in student behavior. The strategies detailed in this special issue--behavior-specific praise, high-probability request sequence, precorrection, active supervision, instructional choice, and instructional…

Speight, Renee; Kucharczyk, Suzanne – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2021
High-levels of classroom engagement and on-task behavior have been linked to positive outcomes for students. In traditional classroom settings when levels of on-task behaviors are low, teacher integration of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) can facilitate improvement in student engagement. PBIS strategies such as creating clear…
