A Level System for Managing Problem Behaviors in a High School Resource Program.

Mastropieri, Margo A.; And Others

Behavioral Disorders, v13 n3 p202-208 May 1988

Two variations of a level system as a behavior management tool for behavior-disordered and learning-disabled adolescents (N=19) in a resource setting were evaluated. Four color-coded levels were designed to decrease talkouts and out-of-seat behaviors. During system implementation, disruptive and off-task behaviors decreased, and task completion increased. (JW)
