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…

Heard, Kim; Peltier, Corey – Preventing School Failure, 2021
Professional development for educators is often not evidence-based and insufficient to improve classroom management skills. Video-analysis has been shown to be effective at improving pedagogy of classroom teachers. We expanded on prior literature by using an early childhood general education teacher. A multiple baseline design across behaviors was…

VanLone, Janet; Freeman, Jennifer; Simonsen, Brandi; Everett, Susannah; Sugai, George; Whitcomb, Sara – Journal of Special Education Apprenticeship, 2022
This study used a single-subject, multiple baseline across participants research design to explore the effects of a multi-component intervention on pre-service teachers' use of behavior-specific praise (BSP). The intervention consisted of explicit instruction and modeling of the skill, followed by on-going video self-analysis, self-monitoring, and…

Nancy Ruth Young – ProQuest LLC, 2024
A wide body of literature has documented the disproportionality in exclusionary discipline rates (Gregory et al., 2010; Losen et al., 2015; Office of Special Education Programs, 2020; Skiba, 2014; Welsh & Little, 2018). Students with disabilities or other minority backgrounds are removed from their classrooms at higher rates than their peers…
