Despite wide agreement from experts about the importance of developing classroom and behavior management skills, many teacher training programs do not require specified coursework or experiences to develop this skill set for teacher licensure or degree completion. In this article, we describe what we observe to be a disconnect between current requirements of teacher preparation programs, and the nature of adequate teacher training to appropriately manage and support student behavior. We argue that this disconnect currently contributes to a host of problematic outcomes observable in schools, including teacher attrition, racial disproportionality in discipline actions, and an overreliance on punitive and ineffective behavior support practices. We end our discussion with additional recommendations for improving teacher training and ensuring systems alignment.</p>","PeriodicalId":51493,"journal":{"name":"Education and Treatment of Children","volume":"43 4","pages":"393-404"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7673070/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38640131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can lead to challenging behaviors that negatively affect students' educational experiences, put them at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), and impact relationships with teachers. Despite a large research base on student behavior, little is known about the critical role of teacher attributions, which can affect both teacher responses to challenging behavior and the acceptance of interventions. This systematic review aimed to identify dimensions used in the literature on teacher attributions for challenging student behavior in K–5 classrooms. A search of three databases resulted in 25 peer-reviewed articles with a variety of measures that characterized teacher attributions along three dimensions: locus, controllability, and stability. Further, nearly half the articles divided the dimension of locus into four distinct factors. Implications for practitioners and future research directions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51493,"journal":{"name":"Education and Treatment of Children","volume":"42 1","pages":"557 - 578"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/etc.2019.0026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44080904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of CICO components is necessary to inform implementation of adequate prevention and intervention services, as well as evidence-based modifications of intervention intensity for students at risk of developing more severe problem behaviors. The current study utilized a multiple baseline design to examine the minimum amount of in-class feedback required to reduce student problem behavior and increase appropriate behaviors for three fifth grade students in the general education classroom. For all three participants, the first phase evaluated student response to the implementation of morning check-in and afternoon check-out only. Additional in-class feedback was provided for one participant. Results suggest that CICO may be effective in reducing student problem behavior without full implementation of in-class feedback.","PeriodicalId":51493,"journal":{"name":"Education and Treatment of Children","volume":"42 1","pages":"469 - 488"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/etc.2019.0022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43623848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All six treatment group students demonstrated an increasing trend across treatment sessions, with higher response rates than during baseline sessions; two participants showed less variability and a positive trend in the pull-out setting with fewer distractions. The two comparison participants did not show any gains from treatment-as-usual; however, positive gains were immediately noted after subsequently introducing VM.

Teacher praise-to-reprimand ratios (PRRs) are associated with increased student engagement, but more research is necessary to further explore how these ratios affect student behavior, particularly for students with or at risk for EBD. Commonly 3:1 or 4:1 is recommended as a desirable PRR, but students with EBD may need higher ratios to improve their classroom behavior. In our study of 540 students and 149 teachers, we found that as teacher PRR increased the engagement of at-risk students increased, though engagement for typically developing peers did not. A PRR of approximately 9:1 was needed for students at risk for EBD to approximate the engagement levels of their typically developing peers. No effect of PRR on disruption rates was found for either student category.","PeriodicalId":51493,"journal":{"name":"Education and Treatment of Children","volume":"42 1","pages":"447 - 468"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/etc.2019.0021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48974353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementation of the tangible condition of the functional analysis in a hospital-based gift shop or cafeteria confirmed these hypotheses. To address their problem behavior and compliance, both participants participated in differential reinforcement of alternative (DRA) behavior treatment programs. Within an ABAB reversal design, DRA treatment resulted in decreased problem behavior and increased compliance to instructions when compared to the tangible condition of the functional analysis.
