Approximately 20% of students repeatedly display challenging classroom behaviors (e.g., off-task, disruptive behavior). Students exhibiting challenging classroom behaviors have difficulties achieving academic success and may indirectly harm the learning of classroom peers. Self-management interventions targeted a range of classroom behaviors…

Within the school setting, students identified as having emotion regulation impairment (ERI) are at particularly high risk for negative academic and personal outcomes. These students often need additional support with mental health. Unfortunately, there are several barriers to providing evidence-based interventions in schools, including time and…

Classroom management is one the most pressing problems that teachers face--and studies show that the challenges are only increasing. If student behavior is not managed successfully, the learning environment may become so chaotic, unstructured, and ineffective that teachers cannot teach and students cannot learn. "The Big Book of Behavior…

This study sought to investigate the effects of a self-monitoring (SM) with goal-setting (GS) intervention on students' disruptive behavior. A multiple baseline A-B-BC design was implemented across five elementary school-aged participants diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to examine the use of a behavioral intervention…

The PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) is a school-based intervention shown to enhance student self-regulation, encourage prosocial behavior, and curb challenging behaviors. However, little is understood about students' perspectives on the intervention. In this study, we conducted a survey and semi-structured interviews with 3rd-grade students in…

Online parenting programs to support parents of children with behavioral problems and emotional problems have become widely available in recent years. Research has consistently shown their positive effects on child development, parents' adaptive parenting practices, and parents' mental health. However, knowledge is lacking on which type of content…

This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of self-management interventions to address student behaviors and academic outcomes in schools. The review summarized and analyzed evidence from 75 single-case design studies and four group-design studies, of which three were experimental and one was quasi-experimental. School-based…

Imagine a day in the classroom where you can devote all your energy to student learning instead of battling challenging behavior. In "Motivated to Learn," you will gain evidence-based approaches for engaging students and equipping them to better focus in the classroom. With this book's straightforward strategies, you can learn to…

This is the first systematic review of the school outcome literature for behavior interventions used with middle school students exhibiting disruptive behaviors. A total of 51 investigations (published between 2000 and 2020) including 6,498 students and 264 implementers were coded on four dimensions (i.e., sample, interventions, methodology, and…

Training parents to serve as interventionists for their child is a common approach to enhance child well-being. The scope of parent training described in the literature spans diverse teaching practices, settings, and child diagnoses. Research demonstrates that parents can learn and implement a variety of skills with integrity; however, there is…

Self-management has been found to be favorable for improving a wide variety of skills as well as decreasing problematic behaviors in individuals with a range of disabilities. We used a single case withdrawal design to investigate the use of a self-management intervention on problem behaviors of a nine-year-old Native American child with fetal…

Self-management has been shown to be effective for increasing the on-task behaviors and decreasing the problem behaviors of students. However, little is known regarding the individual and combined effectiveness of the components of self-management. This study applied the logic of a component analysis to add the four major self-management…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of MoBeGo, a mobile self-monitoring app, on the initial and sustained academic engagement and disruptive behavior of third- to eighth-grade students with challenging behavior. Student-teacher pairs (N = 57) were randomly assigned to the treatment (MoBeGo) or control (business-as-usual)…

Teachers are responsible for providing an education to students of all ability levels. Recent data suggest that roughly 95% of students with a disability are receiving some form of education in their general education setting. Individuals with disabilities tend to engage in higher levels of disruptive behaviors (e.g., talking out in class,…

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often present with difficulty in sustaining engagement, attention, and have disruptive behavior in classroom settings. Without appropriate intervention, these challenging behaviors often persist and negatively impact educational outcomes. Self-monitoring is a well-supported evidence-based practice…
