This book was released on 2019 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several effective treatment methods and evidence based practices (EBP) for teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The use of EBPs is federally mandated, but it is often overwhelming for teachers to identify and implement available best practices with fidelity in the absence of ongoing training and support (Alexander, Ayres & Smith, 2015). Teachers often display low implementation fidelity, and, specifically, special education teachers often struggle with progress monitoring and data collection, which are essential elements of EBPs. Although most teachers are familiar with direct and frequent measurement for data collection, less than half reported using this type of progress monitoring in their classroom, stating several barriers including lack of time and knowledge (Wesson, King & Deno, 1984). One way to affect teacher implementation and behavior change is through different consultation styles, including performance feedback or a commitment emphasis approach. Performance feedback is a widely used and effective method to improve teacher implementation and treatment fidelity (Burns, Peters & Noell, 2008; Sanetti, & Kratochwill, 2009; Solomon, Klein & Politylo, 2012). A commitment emphasis model is a social influence strategy, which also shows continuing support for teacher behavior change (Noell et al. 2005). This study evaluated a strategy for increasing teachers' completion of the Student Learning Profile (SLP), a curriculum-based student assessment that is administered as part of the Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research (STAR; Arick, Krug, Loos & Falco, 2004), using a randomized control group design to compare a performance feedback model with a commitment emphasis plus prompt model of consultation. Overall, the study found a significant effect for teacher SLP completion at time-point one for teachers' in the experimental group using a commitment emphasis model, but less so over time. Implications for researchers, clinicians and educators are also explored.
Download or read book Evaluating Effects of Teleconsultation on Knowledge and Implementation of Self monitoring with Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Ericka L. Pier and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of teleconsultation on knowledge and implementation of self-monitoring interventions with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a general education classroom setting. Participants were special education teachers employed at a public elementary school in the Capital Region of New York State, who work with at least 1 student with a disability classification of Autism. It was hypothesized that participants’ knowledge of self-monitoring interventions with students with ASD would increase following participation in a virtual in-service training, and that participants would report greater implementation of self-monitoring interventions with their elementary-age students with ASD after receiving virtual follow-up consultation. The study found that participants’ knowledge of self-monitoring interventions with students with ASD increased following their participation in a virtual in-service training. Additionally, participants reported greater implementation of self-monitoring interventions after virtual follow-up consultation.

Book excerpt: The present study was designed to address the gap between legal precedents for inclusion, such as least restrictive environment, and feasibility and knowledge around practical applications in schools. General education teachers may not have the knowledge and training needed to support children with autism in their classroom. School psychologists can serve a consultative role and work with teachers to identify interventions to support students with autism in their classrooms based on teacher preferences of intervention strategies. There is a call for more research on consultation for inclusion and feasible interventions that can be implemented by general education teachers. The purpose of the current study was to adapt an existing consultation model used for behavior management to become utilized for inclusive practices for students with autism. Four general education teachers with students diagnosed with autism participated in the adapted version of the Classroom Check-Up consultation model, the Autism Spectrum Check-Up (ASCU). A multiple baseline design was used to monitor teacher and student behaviors during baseline and the intervention phases. A functional relation was demonstrated across data of all four student participants. A strong effect size and significant at the p

Weaver and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study evaluated the effects of a Mindfulness session on the program outcomes of a hybrid parenting training program. The program began as hybrid parent training program and switched to a full telehealth model at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The parenting training program was for parents of children with autism. The results showed that parents who participated in the mindfulness session had more success in the program than those who we're not exposed to the brief mindfulness training. These results suggest that mindfulness can be effective in increasing positive performance in parents of children with autism.

Download or read book The Science of Learning and Development written by Pamela Cantor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.

Download or read book Visible Learning written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers – an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major contribution is a fascinating benchmark/dashboard for comparing many innovations in teaching and schools.

Download or read book Self Efficacy Beliefs of Adolescents written by Tim Urdan and published by IAP. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the psychological construct of self-efficacy is widely acknowledged as one of the most important developments in the history of psychology. Today, it is simply not possible to explain phenomena such as human motivation, learning, self-regulation, and accomplishment without discussing the role played by self-efficacy beliefs. In this, the fifth volume of our series on adolescence and education, we focus on the self-efficacy beliefs of adolescents. We are proud and fortunate to be able to bring together the most prominent voices in the study of self-efficacy, including that of the Father of Social Cognitive Theory and of self-efficacy, Professor Albert Bandura. It is our hope, and our expectation, that this volume will become required reading for all students and scholars in the areas of adolescence and of motivation and, of course, for all who play a pivotal role in the education and care of youth.
Download or read book Teaching Good Learner Repertoires written by Steve Ward and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-08-03 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Good Learner Repertoires is a "how to" book that will guide you to make your student easy to teach. Steve Ward, MA, BCBA and Terry Grimes, MS, BCBA bring decades of experience to this follow-up to the Inventory of Good Learner Repertoires. Good learner repertoires go well beyond typical "replacement" behaviors and most typically developing individuals acquire them with no formal teaching. Reading through the book you will quickly realize the staggering number of skills that we take for granted that may have to be specifically taught for learners to move forward academically and behaviorally. Teaching Good Learner Repertoires provides clear scripts for teaching these foundational skills, but also provides analyses, data recommendations, and "Dimension Grids", that will turn you into an analyst, capable of identifying the most relevant current priorities for your student, seeing where the instruction is going, and problem-solving how to get there.
