The purpose of this project is to adapt an existing problem-solving model, Outcomes: Planning Monitoring and Evaluating (Outcomes: PME)to support school problem-solving teams (PSTs) in their efforts to enhance team-based problem-solving and use of evidence-based practices (EBP), teacher intervention integrity, and student behavior outcomes. Within multi-tiered systems of supports,PSTs are integral to the selection and implementation of evidence-based interventions to address behavioral and a...

The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate a Tier 2 intervention with a combined focus on behavior and academic skills, Academic and Behavior Combined Support (ABC Support). In current multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), students who are not successful with Tier 1 instruction receive supplementary support. Schools face critical choices when making decisions regarding the focus of Tier 2 interventions. Despite the frequent co-occurrence of academic and behavior challenges for ...

The purpose of this project is to develop, implement, and evaluate an intensive professional development course in single-case design (SCD) research. Over the past decade, there have been a number of advances in SCD intervention research. These include new developments in research design, visual and statistical analysis, and methods for summarizing single-case intervention research in literature reviews.

The purpose of this project is to improve the capacity of education researchers to conduct high-quality single-case design (SCD) intervention research by holding two SCD Training Institutes during the summer of 2014 and 2015.

Research indicates that schools rarely implement evidence-based practices for students exhibiting behavioral problems or disorders. In many cases, implementation of evidence-based practices may require a system-level change to improve their adoption and use as well as improve support and commitment from all school personnel. The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate an intervention protocol that adopts the principles of applied behavior analysis and applies them to an organizati...
