Research suggests that many teachers are underprepared for the behaviors their students may bring to classroom, resulting in challenges teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was examine behavior management content included preservice teacher preparation programs general education special teachers. Using survey methodology, researchers collected information from participants about types classroom strategies skills programs. Results suggested educators were more likely be taught...
Challenging behavior at school remains a concern for teachers and administrators. Thus classroom management practices to prevent challenging are sorely needed. The Good Behavior Game (GBG) has been found be useful positively change student behavior. However, previous reviews of the GBG have not quantified effects, focused solely on behaviors, examined study features that facilitate greater outcomes. Twenty-two peer-reviewed journal articles were reviewed. Study data analyzed using effect...
This study reports on the perceptions and instructional practices of Grades 3 through 5 special education teachers in a school district that implemented multitiered response to intervention (RTI) framework for previous years. The authors used focus groups interviews examine teachers’ RTI. In addition, observed mathematics reading instruction these provided. contributes literature by presenting qualitative, in-depth description related RTI implementation at upper elementary level.
Most previously developed coastal vulnerability/sensitivity indices acknowledge that the addition of socio-economic variables would assist in defining vulnerable areas. This study investigated incorporation into a GIS based vulnerability index for wave-induced erosion Northern Ireland.In this application, sub-index was to contribute potentially one third overall score; other components consisted forcing and characteristic sub-indices. All were ranked on an arbitrary 1–5 scale with 5 being...
The concept of ‘working with natural processes’ has wide currency in coastal zone management. It is one eight principles for integrated management listed a recent EU Recommendation. From geomorphological perspective, the concept, however, range imparted meanings that from (1) direct human intervention processes using ‘hard engineering’ structures causes alteration wave patterns, through (2) variety ‘soft approaches to (3) non‐intervention and proactively taking steps enable coastline...
Systematically observing instruction for students with learning disabilities (LD) provides information regarding the quality of school-based interventions, allocation instructional time, and other implementation variables associated student outcomes. In this synthesis, observation studies reading mathematics from 2000 to 2013 were identified through a systematic literature search. The purpose was understand findings observations typical practice LD during an era increased exposure...
Co-teaching is commonly used to support students with disabilities in inclusive educational settings. However, there often a gap between the potential effectiveness of co-teaching and actual classroom practice. This study examined preservice teachers' experiences better understand this identify practices for improving teacher training service delivery. A review 11 studies revealed that both special education general teachers believed provided them opportunities communicate work...

Severe TBI, defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 8, increases intracranial pressure and activates the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic hyperactivity after TBI manifests catecholamine excess, hypertension, abnormal heart rate variability, agitation, is associated with poor neuropsychological outcome. Propranolol clonidine are centrally acting drugs that may decrease outflow, brain edema, agitation. However, there no prospective randomized evidence available demonstrating feasibility,...
This study investigated the effects of Good Behavior Game (GBG) on classwide off-task behavior in two ninth-grade basic algebra resource classes. Ten students with a variety disabilities, classrooms, and their special education teacher participated this study. A reversal design was employed, which implemented GBG compared to typical practice-algebra readiness instruction. Results showed that decreased conditions baseline conditions. Fidelity measures indicated fidelity. Students rated...
Teachers are responsible for using evidence-based practices to improve students’ academic and behavioral outcomes. Although teachers have access a variety of resources on practices, poor implementation can adversely affect their effectiveness. However, an inadequate student response intervention may also be the result mismatch between practice student’s needs. As result, it is important determine degree which they implement as intended if due or inappropriate selection intervention. The...
Researchers frequently rely on meta-analyses of prior research studies to efficiently evaluate a broad spectrum results particular topic. In the realm single-subject experimental designs (SSEDs), have cachet: retaining rigor with added robustness replication more fully determine strength given approach or intervention. Until recently, researchers wishing undertake meta-analytic themselves had limited options for synthesizing intervention effects collection studies. consistently use two...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the evidence base for using computer-assisted instruction (CAI) improve reading comprehension students with learning disabilities (LD). Twelve peer-reviewed studies (seven comparison group studies, five single-case studies) met selection criteria and were evaluated according relevant What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) procedures standards. Results showed that seven (five two WWC standards or without reservations. Key instructional features employed in...
