Abstract
Abstract This case study describes the actions and processes of implementing Behavior Support Coaching for Paraprofessionals (BSC-P) with a kindergarten teacher and paraprofessional to support the implementation of behavior support plans with three students in a high-poverty elementary school. BSC-P consists of eight, 40-min coaching sessions using direct observational data to select, implement, and monitor behavior interventions. Results indicate high levels of paraprofessional intervention fidelity and positive effects on students’ rates of academic engagement (effect sizes [ESs] by students range from 0.10 to 4.42) and off-task behaviors (ESs by student range from 0.30 to 2.87). Increased paraprofessional support and reduced stress were reported. BSC-P was rated as a highly acceptable form of professional development. Implications and future research are discussed.
期刊介绍：
With a new publisher (Taylor & Francis) and a new editor (David L. Wodrich), the Journal of Applied School Psychology will continue to publish articles and periodic thematic issues in 2009. Each submission should rest on either solid theoretical or empirical support and provide information that can be used in applied school settings, related educational systems, or community locations in which practitioners work. Manuscripts appropriate for publication in the journal will reflect psychological applications that pertain to individual students, groups of students, teachers, parents, and administrators. The journal also seeks, over time, novel and creative ways in which to disseminate information about practically sound and empirically supported school psychology practice.
