Case Study Units provide faculty with realistic teaching scenarios for students to use, and they are designed to strengthen a student's understanding of the topic, as well as enhance their problem-solving skills while exploring new content. Faculty guides for each case study unit are available upon request.

 

This case study unit outlines positive behavior management techniques that can be employed with individual students who have behavioral concerns that are not effectively addressed by comprehensive classroom rules. It features scenarios of students at varying grade levels, ranging from elementary to high school.

This brief provides educators with an intervention to reduce aggressive behaviors in students utilizing the cognitive-behavioral approach. It describes common components of the cognitive-behavioral approach along with teaching elements to aid the implementation of this approach to reduce aggressive behaviors in students. It provides an example of the "Check and Connect" model, which has shown evidence of effectiveness as a dropout prevention and intervention procedure in several different settings and contexts.

This report is part of an effort to identify and synthesize research examining effective practices in dropout prevention for students with disabilities. It was developed by the National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities (NDPC-SD), in partnership with the What Works in Transition Systematic Review Project at Colorado State University. It is a systematic review summarizing scientifically-based research studies produced in the past two decades from three distinct perspectives: (a) cognitive-behavioral interventions, (b) dropout or dropout-related outcomes, and (c) samples of secondary-aged youth with disabilities. It explores the relationship between cognitive-behavioral interventions/therapies and dropout outcomes and violent verbal or physical aggression for secondary-aged youth with disabilities. The findings strongly support the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral interventions across educational environments, disability types, ages, and gender in the reduction of dropout and correlates of dropout. A series of more detailed implications for practice are suggested, as well as instructions on how to locate implementation strategies for these interventions in secondary schools.

This fact sheet provides data on infants, toddlers and young children who are experiencing high stress as a result of a number of risk factors specifically identified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), including substantiated abuse or neglect, foster care placement, homelessness, exposure to family violence and prenatal exposure to drugs or alcohol. It should be noted that these risk factors often co-occur with other serious risk factors, such as extreme poverty, environmental toxins, parental substance abuse (post-natally) and parental mental health problems, especially maternal depression.

This publication is out of print. It was meant to help schools answer the question, "What does the research tell us?" about promising interventions for students with a history of behavior problems. It’s important to know that there is a tremendous body of research available on this subject, covering a wide variety of students, situations, and settings. NICHCY also includes a short overview that can be used and adapted to help students and to develop programs.

 

 

 

 This Research Brief is drawn from a larger, much more detailed document on interim alternative educational settings that was prepared by Project FORUM, of the NationalAssociation of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE).This Research Brief was updated in 2003.

The IRIS STAR Legacy modules cover topics relevant to future teachers, administrators, and other school personnel. The modules include a challenge, interactive activities, and multiple opportunities for sharing and assessment utilizing the web and CD technology.

 

The first in a two-part series, this module discusses problem behavior in terms of the stages of the acting-out cycle and suggests ways to respond to students in the different phases of the cycle.
