The purpose of this study was to examine whether curriculum-based assessment (CBA) procedures could be incorporated into a functional behavioral (FBA) identify antecedent events that occasion off-task classroom behaviors students in general education classroom. A multi-element design used conduct two-phase FBA and monitor changes behavior 3 male the Phase 1 consisted teacher interview, an academic assessment, descriptive analysis. 2 manipulation phase which difficulty level activities...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic genetic disease that leads to the accumulation of thick mucus in multiple organ systems, leading lung infection and affecting body's ability absorb nutrients necessary for growth development. This cross-sectional, correlational study examined potential effects CF on students' psychosocial academic

.The number of students who are classified as English language learners (ELLs) is increasing within schools across the United States. Thus, it important that school professionals have access to information regarding research-based assessment, prevention, and intervention practices reflect appropriate provision services this population. This study examined peer-reviewed articles published between 1995 2005 explore extent which issues related ELL in psychology journals compared professional...

Abstract The increasing numbers of English language learners who are enrolled in schools across the nation, combined with escalating academic demands placed on all students, warrant evaluation instructional strategies designed to improve learners' reading performance. In this study, authors used a multiple baseline design individuals examine effects an intervention that (a) vocabulary folding-in technique and (b) self-graphing procedures performance 3 third-grade Spanish-speaking learners....

Although numerous English language proficiency (ELP) measures currently exist, many were developed prior to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). These pre-NCLB typically focused on social proficiency, whereas post-NCLB are linked ELP standards and focus academic (ALP). used for accountability purposes determine eligibility services; less attention has been given their utility in enhancing classroom instruction intervention provision. Inconsistency scores between pre- frequently...

Multitiered systems of support (MTSS) are composed tiered prevention and intervention in multiple domains. MTSS is often referred to as an umbrella framework that includes both a multi-tiered approach proactive school-wide behavior (e.g., Schoolwide Positive Behavior Interventions Supports) academic supports reading, writing, and/or mathematics Response Intervention). Integrating can become complex, requiring significant coordination implementation efforts within schools. However, measure...

The Brief Academic Competence Evaluation Screening System (BACESS) is a multiphase universal screening measure designed to assist educators in the identification of students who are likely experience learning difficulties elementary school. This study evaluated reliability and validity for this purpose. BACESS was used 25 classrooms Wisconsin, entire sample included 285 students. phases were each found be highly reliable their respective numbers items. Internal structure evidence indicated...

The current study examined the validity of curriculum-based measures (CBM) in mathematics computation (M-COMP) and oral reading fluency (R-CBM) predicting spring performance level risk (>1 SD below national mean) among students classified as English Learners (ELs). Additionally, assessed incremental predictive value language proficiency (ELP) beyond CBM performance. results indicated that ELP explains a significant portion variability above M-COMP R-CBM increases accuracy at-risk status on...

Using kindergarten up to fourth-grade data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (2010-2011 cohort), we investigated systematic variability in English language learners' (ELLs; n = 303) mathematics growth as well relations of and working memory (WM) ELLs' growth. mixture modeling, only one class emerged first through fourth grades. WM related Grades 1 4, did early literacy. We also Grade 4 between ELLs proficient students (EPSs; 4,711) using latent change score models whether...

Abstract Bayesian latent change score modeling (LCSM) was used to compare models of triannual (fall, winter, spring) on elementary math computation and concepts/applications curriculum‐based measures. Data were collected from students in Grades 2–5, approximately 700 850 each grade (47%–54% female; 78%–79% White, 10%–11% Black, 2%–4% Hispanic/Latino, Asian, 2–4% Native American or Pacific Islander; 13%–14% English learner; 10%–14% had special education individualized plans). Results...

The researchers examined the effects of reducing attentional demands on reading comprehension test scores. Third grade students (N=939) completed two forms (T & S) Stanford 9 Reading Comprehension Test (54 items, 50 min.) in spring 1999. Form T (state-mandated) was administered following standardized procedures one session. S (alternate) multiple, divided-time sessions, that is, total time and items were divided halves thirds per session to lessen demands. A repeated-measure analysis...
