Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Curriculum and Instruction: Special Education.
The purpose of the study was to collect and compile the best behavioral interventions used by licensed classroom teachers and publish the results. The results will be available to future educators, social workers, adult caregivers, and any other professionals working with the difficult population, known best as Severe Behavior Disorder (SBD), Severe Behavior Handicapped (SBH), Emotionally Impaired (EI) or Emotional Behavior Disordered (EBD) adolescents in most states. The interventions discussed in the research apply foremost to situations arising in the classroom, however most of the behavior interventions and strategies have direct application outside of the classroom as well, in other areas of a students life, such as the home and the community. The interventions discussed herein are applicable to behavioral students previously diagnosed. The strategies and interventions also apply to regular education students exhibiting poor behavior and not previously identified as having a particular disorder or have not yet been diagnosed. Subjects consisted of one hundred and thirteen licensed teachers in the United States, having access to a computer with an Internet connection and the capability to answer the questionnaire on-line, inputting responses directly into advancedsurvey.com software or through WGTE, a public television station web site made available to classroom teachers. The research highlights sound, tested classroom behavior interventions and current curriculum used to improve adolescent behavior in the classroom, home, and community. Results from a national survey of the most effective behavioral interventions used by classroom teachers is included and available to new and existing teaching professionals, social workers, parents, and community supporters of education.
