Book excerpt: Educational legislators nationwide are advocating for the correlation of student achievement with teacher evaluation. Districts have adopted Response to Intervention as a way to prescribe, implement, and progress monitor interventions to enhance academics and decrease negative behaviors. What happens when teachers are not comfortable with incorporating new mandated processes? Professional development and readiness play an important role of self-efficacy. In this explanatory sequential study, the focus was to determine if there was a relationship between teacher perceived self-efficacy when prescribing, implementing, and progress monitoring academic and behavioral interventions while incorporating Response to Intervention (RtI) in a Pennsylvania urban public elementary school. The cross-sectional based Perception of RtI Skills Survey and open-ended individual interviews were used to examine the following research questions: Is there are relationship between teacher self-efficacy and prescribing and implementing academic and behavioral interventions while implementing Response to Intervention (RtI)? Is there a correlation between teacher's year of experience in education and their current position, teacher education, and perceived self-efficacy when using the RtI model? What teacher knowledge and tools are needed for successful incorporation of RtI? Seventeen general and special education teachers completed both phases of the study. Four major themes emerged from the study: understanding the teacher's role in prescribing and implementing behavioral interventions, managing Response to Intervention academic and behavior interventions in the general and special education classroom with fidelity, and understanding how to identify and use academic and behavior resources, and using technology to progress monitor. The study's results concluded teachers are not secure in using diagnostic tools and interventions for behavior. The consistent review of monitoring tools could help to ensure teachers understand how to progress monitor and input data in the Online Teacher Accountability System. There are four recommendations for promoting positive teacher self-perceived efficacy when using RtI. The data supports a critical need for understanding the multifaceted tiers for academic and behavior interventions, the identification of universal screenings and interventions at all tiers for each grade level, support in progress monitoring when using technology, and ongoing program evaluation to refine professional development to target school-based needs.

Download or read book Exploring high school teachers perceptions of the implementation of the school wide positive behavior interventions and its impact on students with disabilities written by Melody A. Arndts and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schoolwide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) is a tiered program that provides three levels of behavior and social-emotional support for students. Tier one is for all students, tier two is for some students in need of targeted or some additional intervention, while tier three is for few students who need the most intensive support (Center on PBIS, 2023b; Lewis et al., 2017; Simonsen et al., 2008; Sugai & Horner, 2002). Schools have increasingly implemented Schoolwide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS), but research suggests that few high schools have implemented SWPBIS when compared with elementary and middle schools (Feuerborn et al., 2015; Flannery et al., 2013). High schools have varying contextual factors that differ from elementary and middle schools, presenting distinctive challenges with the implementation process and fidelity of SWPBIS. This qualitative phenomenological study explores secondary teachers’ perceptions of the school-wide and class-wide implementation process of SWPBIS at the high school level and its impact on students with disabilities and other health impairments. Additionally, this study examines secondary teachers’ perceptions of effective discipline strategies and their perception regarding out-of-school suspensions. Findings suggest that inequitable practices of the SWPBIS may likely stem from personal beliefs and philosophy of SWPBIS, teacher autonomy in the classroom, lack of time and inconsistent implementation, and buy-in.
Download or read book Alternative School Teachers Efficacy Perceptions Teaching Students with Behavioral Difficulties written by Elizabeth Shevock Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitatively-driven mixed methods inquiry was to explore teachers' perceptions of their efficacy as it relates to their role teaching students with behavioral difficulties; specifically students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, Autism, and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in an alternative school setting. Teacher efficacy has received significant attention by educational researchers; however, minimal research has explored the teacher efficacy of these teachers, and little is known about their experiences in alternative school environments. Surveys and in-depth interviews were utilized to provide rich data on four alternative school teachers' efficacy perceptions. Through data analysis, three key findings emerged that related to the teachers' sense of efficacy, specifically their sense of efficacy in classroom engagement, instructional practices, and classroom management. These findings displayed the complex nature of the construct and delineated the difficulty in identifying the teachers as exclusively highly efficacious in these three realms of their teaching. Findings were also examined in relationship to the literature in teacher efficacy and in teaching students with behavioral difficulties. This research provides an underexplored representation of this specific teaching role and has important implications relevant to current school settings, as well as general and special teacher education programs.

Download or read book Temperament and Children written by Roy P. Martin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents an empirical model of commonly occurring individual differences in children that is derived from a large-scale research effort assessing parental and teacher perceptions of children in middle childhood. It examines eight characteristic behavioral traits, most of which have been widely shown to be present in infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. The book demonstrates the importance of considering profiles of these relatively stable individual differences for the educational, social, and emotional life of the child. It describes characteristic behaviors of children within each profile – emphasizing the assets and liabilities of each – and how they are perceived by their parents, teachers, and peers. Chapters explore issues related to the most developmentally effective management of children exhibiting each profile type. In addition, the book addresses a critical need in child development, parenting, and teaching to understand the wide range of individual differences observed every day in school-aged children. Not only does this volume underscore that commonly occurring differences can be understood as being normal and do not suggest a pathology, it also discusses implications of the model in diagnosing pathology. The book describes what is known about the stability of temperament behaviors and profiles across the lifespan as well as the origins of these behaviors. Key topics addressed include: Nurturing development of well-adjusted children. Causes of individual differences in children’s behavior. Temperamental tendencies and profiles of children. Diagnosing psychopathology in children. This book is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals in developmental, clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health, pediatrics, family studies, educational psychology and counseling, and all other interrelated disciplines.

Download or read book Teachers Perceptions of the Impact of a District Alternative Education Program on Student Behavior and Academic Achievement written by Peace Oluwafemi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of disciplinary alternative education programs (DAEPs) is to provide an alternative educational environment for students removed from their regular school due to behavioral infractions of the student code of conduct. Few studies have explored teachers’ perceptions of DAEPs regarding effective practices and strategies for improving student outcomes. The qualitative study examined teachers’ perceptions of the effect of DAEP placement on students in a major metropolitan school district in Texas. The research questions examined teachers’ perceptions of challenges encountered by students placed in DAEPs and strategies for improving student behavior and reducing the rate of recidivism. The study analyzed responses provided by teachers to a questionnaire (n= 12) via Google forms. Findings from the study support recommendations stating that students can improve their behavior through social skills instruction and purposeful interventions aimed at eliminating the unacceptable behavior. Recommendations by the teachers support the use of instructional and positive behavior management strategies for reducing recidivism and improving student behavior and academic outcome. Other findings and recommendations from the study suggest the need to build positive relationships with students, social and academic skill instruction and interventions, consistency and structure in setting behavior expectations, implementing alternative behavior management practices that are non-punitive. Alternative approaches to punitive disciplinary were recommended.
Download or read book Thrive written by Richard Layard and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking argument for better treatment of mental health from Richard Layard (author of Happiness) and David M. Clark. Britain has become a world leader in providing psychological therapies thanks to the work of Richard Layard and David Clark. But, even so, in Britain and worldwide the majority of people who need help still don't get treatment. This is both unjust and a false economy. This book argues for change. It shows that mental ill-health causes more of the suffering in our society than physical illness, poverty or unemployment. Moreover, greater spending on helping people to recover from mental health problems - and stay well - would generate massive savings to national economies, as those who suffer from depression and anxiety disorders account for nearly a half of all disability and are predominantly of working age. Modern talking therapies, such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), are highly effective, and if more sufferers got these treatments, lives would be turned around and the cost would be fully covered by the huge savings. Thrive explores the new effective solutions to the misery and injustice caused by mental illness. It describes how successful psychological treatments have been developed and explains what works best for whom. It also urges us to do all we can to prevent these problems in the first place, through better schools and a better society. And, most importantly, it offers real hope. 'This book is an inspiring success story and a stirring call to further action. Its message is as compelling as it is important: the social costs of mental illness are terribly high and the costs of effective treatments are surprisingly low' Daniel Kahneman 'Extremely easy and pleasurable to read. It's the most comprehensive, humane and generous study of mental illness that I've come across' Melvyn Bragg 'Remarkable . . . presents the issues in a style that easy for the professional, the general public, and policy makers to understand' Aaron T Beck 'Professors Layard and Clark (the Dream Team of British Social Science) make a compelling case for a massive injection of resources into the treatment and prevention of mental illness. This is simply the best book on public policy and mental health ever written' Martin Seligman RICHARD LAYARD is one of the world's leading labour economists, and in 2008 received the IZA International Prize for Labour Economics. A member of the House of Lords, he has done much to raise the public profile of mental health. His 2005 book Happiness has been translated into 20 languages. DAVID M. CLARK, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, is one of the world's leading experts on CBT, responsible for much progress in treatment methods. With Richard Layard, he was the main driver behind the UK's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme.
Download or read book Handbook of School Mental Health written by Mark D. Weist and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With so few therapeutic outlets readily available to young people, schools have evolved into mental health centers for many students. Yet schools are hampered by limited access to resources needed to provide mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention services. Like its acclaimed predecessor, the Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health offers ways for professionals to maximize resources, make and strengthen valuable connections, and attain more effective school-based services and programming. At the same time, the Handbook provides strategies and recommendations in critical areas, such as workforce development, interdisciplinary collaborations, youth/family engagement, consultation, funding, and policy concerns, summarizes the state of current research, and offers directions for further study. Chapters model best practices for promoting wellness and safety, early detection of emotional and behavioral problems, and school-based interventions for students with anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other common challenges. In spotlighting this range of issues, the contributors have created a comprehensive game plan for advancing the field. Among the Handbook's topics: Pre-service training for school mental health clinicians. Cognitive-behavioral interventions for trauma in schools. Increasing parental engagement in school-based interventions. Models of psychiatric consultation to schools. Culturally competent behavioral and emotional screening. Bullying from a school mental health perspective. Prevention and intervention strategies related to a variety of mental health problems in schools. The Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and other professionals in child and school psychology, special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, social work and counseling, educational policy, and family advocacy.
