Teachers can at times view behavioural intervention procedures as time-consuming. Thus, socially-valid classroom-based interventions are a critical component to behavioural success. This study examined the effects of traditional behavioural interventions with two kindergarten students presenting with challenging behaviours, including aggression,…

Various social changes have influenced family and school, these two important institutions, reducing in this way the efficacy of the strategies implemented by teachers in achieving a successful management of the classroom. This is the reason why conducting research on "individual's behavior" is being paid more attention recently, as a…

Determining the misbehaviors encountered in physical education classes and the methods used against these behaviors is important both in terms of producing new solutions by revealing the current situation in classroom management and providing a preliminary information for teachers who will just start the profession. The aim of the study is to…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Tootling on disruptive classroom behaviors and academically engaged behaviors within a self-contained setting of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). This study aims to answer two research questions: (1) Is there a functional relationship between Tootling and reducing the…

Proactive behavior management (PBM) has been shown to improve behavior in students with and without disabilities, yet teacher use of such strategies is often low. One barrier to the implementation of PBM is teacher beliefs that contradict a proactive approach to behavior management in favor of a punitive approach. The present study piloted a…

This mixed-method study explored disruptive student behaviors and administrators' support for teachers in dealing with disruptive behaviors. The researcher collected data from teachers and administrators with online questionnaires. A Pearson r correlation showed a significant relationship between disruptive student behaviors and teachers'…

Disruptive student behavior poses significant challenges for teachers and is associated with negative student outcomes. Research shows that teacher use of empirically-based proactive behavior management (PBM) can improve student outcomes; however, research also indicates that teacher use of PBM is low. One prominent factor in teacher use of PBM is…

Classroom behaviour management is an essential skill for teachers, yet teachers often report being inadequately prepared for addressing student behaviour effectively. Teacher professional learning on classroom behaviour management is continually needed to support teacher implementation of evidence-based classroom management practices. This article…

Now revised and expanded, this volume explains how to design, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive, integrated, three-tiered (Ci3T) model of prevention. Rather than presenting a packaged program, the book provides resources and strategies for designing and tailoring Ci3T to the needs and priorities of a particular school or district community.…

The shift to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to swiftly develop strategies for virtual settings to ensure students received effective instruction. Antecedent- and consequence-based interventions have been shown to be effective in classrooms; however, to our best knowledge, there have been no reports on the effects of…

Early childhood educators are expected to provide the children in their centers high-quality care and preparation for later school success. At the same time, nearly a third of children enter early care and education settings displaying challenging behaviors, which in turn impacts educators' stress levels and wellbeing. It is then unsurprising that…

The use of research-informed and evidence-based practices (RI/EBPs) in classroom and behavior management can help teachers mitigate challenging student behavior in their classrooms, while also improving the academic achievement for those students. However, research suggests teachers lack the knowledge and skills to implement these practices. The…

Classroom management is a vital skill for all teachers. Special education teacher educators are tasked with ensuring that teacher candidates are prepared to implement evidence-based practices for the prevention and intervention of challenging behaviors. Many teacher candidates are taking their coursework in an asynchronous online format, which…

This research aims to investigate the most frequent challenging behaviors faced by preschool teachers in their classrooms and the strategies and discipline approaches they adopt against these challenging behaviors. This research is conducted within case study design, which is a qualitative research method. The study group consists of 10 different…

The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a classroom management intervention whereby students earn points toward a particular criterion to "win" the game. Typically, students know the criterion at the start of the game. However, this approach may cause behavior to deteriorate if, during the game, students believe that they have already won or…
