Project R.I.D.E. provides support to regular education teachers to help them deal effectively with inappropriate social and academic behaviors and to eliminate false referrals to special education. A classroom teacher survey in the Great Falls (Montana) Public Schools determined the 20 most significant classroom problems. For each problem, five proven teaching tactics were identified from best practices research. These tactics were summarized and entered onto computer disks for easy access by teachers. For tactics difficult to understand from verbal descriptions, videotapes were made modeling the techniques. If the problems persist after application of the tactics, a School Wide Assistance Team can be consulted. The teams capitalize on the wealth of good teaching and management techniques available in a school. The teams are made up of regular education teachers who meet to provide possible solutions for classroom problems referred to them. In the first year of using this process, data indicated that 82% of problem behaviors were successfully resolved by classroom teachers using the proven teaching tactics. Of the remaining problems, 12% were successfully resolved with the aid of the School Wide Assistance Team, and the final 6% (four behaviors) were referred to special education. (JDD)
