Effects of Virtual Behavior Skills Training on Teacher Instruction and Behavior Management to Support an Inclusive Classroom

ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
General education teachers are increasingly expected to provide effective instruction to special education students included in their classrooms. Unfortunately, teachers are typically insufficiently prepared to provide these services/supports by their formal education or from workshop training. Moreover, ample research suggests that without local follow-up coaching, workshop training is generally ineffective. In response, behavior skills training (BST), an empirically supported training procedure, has been successfully applied to various settings and types of professionals. The current research extended the use of BST to the general education classroom to train multiple instructional and classroom management skills to support inclusion of special education students. The study utilized a multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate the effects of BST on skill acquisition. Four elementary school general education teachers volunteered for participation. All participants implemented pinpointed skills with less than 45% accuracy during baseline. Following one-on-one BST, implementation of pinpoints notably increased over baseline levels. Upon implementation of same-day feedback, the implementation of pinpoints again clearly increased over the post BST phase. Each participant met the predetermined mastery criteria of 80% accuracy of implementation in four feedback sessions. Moreover, three of the four participants maintained this level of implementation during maintenance probes up to 4 weeks post feedback. The results extend the applicability and effectiveness of BST to the general education classroom, while targeting multiple skills simultaneously and conducting all procedures virtually (e.g., ZOOM and email). Additionally, results provide a set of procedures that can be efficiently used to equip teachers with effective instructional approaches to better meet inclusion demands in their classrooms.
