This study utilized a basic interpretive design to explore the experiences of parents/guardians who enrolled their children in the Build Our Kids for Success Program (BOKS) and autoethnography to explore the experiences of the researcher while implementing the BOKS program. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 individuals representing 13…

Faith G. Miller; Nicole Swenson Wagner; Alexandria C. Robers – Preventing School Failure, 2025
Behavior specific praise (BSP) is widely regarded as an evidence-based classroom management strategy, with decades of research supporting its use. However, relatively few studies have examined the effect of BSP as a "targeted" intervention strategy, particularly for traditionally underrepresented students. The present study evaluated the…

Markelz, Andrew M.; Riden, Benjamin S.; Morano, Stephanie; Hazelwood, Alicia L.; Taylor, April M. – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2023
Research has demonstrated that behavior specificity is a salient characteristic of teacher praise efficacy. Praise variety may also be an important characteristic to reinforce desired student behavior based on research about the quality of reinforcers. In this study, we used an alternating treatments design to examine the effects of varied and…

Peer Prompting and Reinforcement for Supporting Positive Behavioral Development in Students with EBD
Wang, Jing; Maggin, Daniel M.; Zarate, Kary – Beyond Behavior, 2022
Peer-mediated interventions (PMIs) are an effective support for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) for improving targeted behavioral skills. As one of the most important strategies in PMI, peer prompting and reinforcement (PR) provides an effective approach for developing and maintaining positive behavior. This article provides…

Wright, Shelby; Skinner, Christopher H.; Crewdson, Margaret; Moore, Tara; McCurdy, Merilee; Coleman, Mari Beth; Rocconi, Louis M. – School Psychology, 2022
The present study was designed to extend research on supplementing social skills training (SST) with a Tootling intervention to enhance student performance of social skills in authentic social contexts. The Tootling intervention included an interdependent group contingency with randomly selected criteria, which involved the after-school class…

Peyton A. Johnstone; Paul Caldarella; Christian V. Sabey; Howard P. Wills – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2025
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…

Zhang, Shiyuan; Du, Xinrong; Deng, Jie – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2021
Verbal praise is frequently used as motivation by teachers in class and truly effective verbal praise plays an important role in maintaining classroom order and stimulating positive student behavior. In this study, students from three classes of X Primary School of Jiangxi Province were interviewed and 328 verbal praise expressions collected. The…

Wilcox, Holly C.; Petras, Hanno; Brown, Hendricks C.; Kellam, Sheppard G. – Prevention Science, 2022
Three generations of developmental epidemiologically based randomized field trials of the Good Behavior Game (GBG) have been delivered to Baltimore elementary schools. With the collaboration of family and community partners, all three trials were directed at decreasing proximal targets of aggressive behavior and improving learning in first-grade…

Gersib, Jenna A.; Mason, Sarah – Behavioral Disorders, 2023
Students with emotional-behavioral disorders (EBDs) often learn in alternative classroom settings to provide more intensive instruction that meets their educational needs. Although research has demonstrated promise for several behavior intervention practices in general education settings, the generalizability of these practices to more restricted…

Meyer, Kari L.; Floress, Margaret T.; Zoder-Martell, Kim – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2019
The authors evaluated whether an incentive raffle increased teachers' use of written praise and appropriate student behavior. Participants included 93 staff members and 755 students at an elementary school in Central Illinois. School staff received didactic instruction for the importance of using praise, and praise notes were measured on a weekly…

Karnes, Jennifer; Barwasser, Anne; Grünke, Matthias – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2021
There is a significant need for easy-to-implement interventions in the early grades, especially in mathematics, as many children have difficulties in their first years of school with automated basic math facts recall and, therefore, fall behind. Automation of single-digit multiplication tasks represents an important developmental step, as it can…

Silva, Erika; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is an effective intervention to reduce disruptive behavior. The GBG typically involves immediate stimulus presentation (e.g., delivery of a token) following disruptions; however, experimenters have also removed tokens contingent upon disruptions. In the present study, we compared the effects of the GBG-stimulus…

More than half of students in the USA perform below a proficient level in math. Although evidence suggests that intervention in elementary school is critical to supporting struggling learners, and there are several research-supported instructional practices to support students with math difficulties, the existing research is limited with regard to…

Niwayama, Kazuki; Maeda, Yosuke; Kaneyama, Yumi; Sato, Hiroshi – Preventing School Failure, 2020
This study examined the effects of teacher self-monitoring combined with peer teacher feedback on their use of behavior-specific praise (BSP). We also examined its effect on children's academic engagement. The study was conducted in general education classrooms at a Japanese elementary school using a multiple-probe design across participants.…

O'Handley, Roderick D.; Dufrene, Brad A.; Whipple, Heather – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2018
The school-based consultation literature includes a variety of empirically supported procedures for increasing teachers' implementation of classroom management strategies. However, teachers may respond differently to empirically supported consultation procedures. This study used a multiple baseline design across three elementary teachers to test…
