Rural schools face unique challenges providing high-quality professional development opportunities due to barriers such as geographic isolation and limited resources. This article provides information on three coaching models, eCoaching, iCoaching, teacher dyad coaching. Each model has the potential leverage technology ameliorate faced by rural schools. a personalized approach using online platforms, allows for tailored development, accommodating distinct needs of educators in remote...

Rural special education research is necessary to demonstrate effective practices for rural students, teachers, schools, and communities. However, the majority of educational conducted in urban suburban which may not generalize adequately locales. teacher student experiences are distinct, body highlighting their lacking multiple ways (e.g., description, rigor). Integrating quantitative qualitative approaches when conducting allows a greater understanding what works, whom, This article shares...

Coaching in the school setting typically follows traditional format of preconference, observe, and postconference, where feedback on teaching performance is shared but often delayed. Professional development (PD) provides teachers with skills to enhance their practice little no follow-up or support. The most effective way produce change show connection between PD student performance, iCoaching can help bridge gap. In this study, four participated a focused session subsequent sessions...

Teachers in special education classrooms often struggle with classroom management. In response, many educators are looking for technological solutions to assist promoting positive environments. Electronic behavior management programs (eBMPs) use strategies based research that shown reduce challenging and encourage behavior, such as reinforcement the Premack principle. This article explains theoretical efficacies of eBMPs, describes three commonly used provides procedures on how can get...

The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy iCoaching increase use behavior-specific praise (BSP) by three educators (one teacher, two paraprofessionals) working in a rural center–based classroom for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities using short, focused professional development iCoaching. Results single-case delayed multiple baseline design suggest that increased BSP delivery participants. Furthermore, rates were maintained after withdrawn. Implications future...

Motivation and engagement in mathematics are important for academic success sometimes compromised students with disabilities who have experienced a history of frustration failure. This article explains how general special education teachers can implement three research-supported strategies boosting motivation elementary or at risk emotional behavioral disorders (EBD) the classroom. The include (a) reinforcing using behavior-specific praise token economy systems; (b) teaching self-monitoring...

Coaching in the school setting typically follows a teacher observation by an administrator or coach. Feedback is often delayed and does not allow for immediate error correction. Traditional professional development schools one-day passive receipt of content strategies, with no time to practice, implement, follow-up on strategy ensure implementation fidelity. Combining strategies learned iCoaching provides teachers support implement evidence-based their own classrooms fidelity, bridges gap...

This article demonstrates an approach for teachers to use outcomes from activities using the universal design learning expression principle evaluate student knowledge in content areas. Based on student’s level of explanation a variety methods, can determine whether students need additional support re-teaching concept or are ready practice challenge. Various levels technology be used formatively assessing understanding, no (e.g., paper and pencil) mid- high-technology tools found most...

This article, part of the Learning Disability Quarterly special series dedicated to single-case research design (SCRD), summarizes review process and outlines how provide high-quality SCRD study manuscript reviews. We offer recommendations for entirety process, including accepting role reviewer, evaluating quality studies, and, finally, adhering reporting standards with focused attention on applied nature engaging work that encompasses in learning disabilities. In addition, we discuss (a)...

The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy an electronic check-in, check-out (eCICO) intervention. district’s case manager (i.e., guidance counselor) implemented eCICO intervention remotely via FaceTime on iPad in collaboration with bus driver who facilitated student wireless internet access a mobile hot spot. Results single-case multiple baseline across behaviors suggest functional relation between and target two rural students emotional behavioral disabilities. Further, low...

This article describes the significance of equipping preservice teachers with knowledge and skills necessary to effectively approach behavioral challenges early elementary students (i.e., kindergarten third grade). Early years are crucial for a child’s academic social development, who exhibit challenging behaviors often face struggles potential long-term negative effects. When educators prepared manage behaviors, they provide support needed succeed. also highlights need teacher preparation...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness iCoaching during reading intervention. An interventionist received mentoring support implement iCoaching. goal increase teacher-delivered, behavior-specific praise (BSP). Design/methodology/approach Using a single-case multiple-probe design across participants (Gast, 2010; Horner and Baer, 1978), implemented in two-part package (1) professional development (PD) (2) live sessions where three teachers preemptive coaching...

Abstract Single‐case research designs are useful for learning disability researchers interested in refining novel interventions (e.g., new mathematics intervention) before scaling, small n populations students with comorbid and emotional behavioral disabilities), testing unique conditions remote locales). Much attention has been devoted to developing quality standards, which is essential replication implementation fidelity; however, little known about the reporting of single‐case design...

Token economies are a helpful, research-based tool for behavior intervention. However, the design and implementation process can be overwhelming. To address common challenges with token economy implementation, we describe basic behavioral science behind economy, how to implement effectively, avoid pitfalls along way. We also provide advice on generalize across settings fade economies, fostering student’s intrinsic motivation making reinforcement more naturalistic.

Academic performance for students with moderate to severe disabilities falls far behind their typically developing peers and puts them at risk continued dependence after school ends.Video prompting is an evidence-based practice that has been used teach various non-academic skills; however, few studies have focused on using video academic skills other than reading.This study a delayed multiple baseline across design evaluate the use of single-and double-digit addition three...
