Improving On-Task Behaviors in the Classrooms

About the Book

The present-day students (regular and special education) have some difficulties remaining on task in the classroom, especially the students classified as the at-risk (learning disabled, behavioral disordered, etc). Therefore, it becomes imperative to design a proactive methodology or strategy that may create on-task behavior while teaching and learning are taking place in the classroom. Note that no one strategy is enough to contain behavior-problem students; hence, the partner-check self-recording strategy was designed to induce on task behavior for a considerable amount of time among elementary school children.
