Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • School Administration
  • Behavioral Interventions

Background:

  • Classroom disruption and low academic task completion are significant challenges in high-risk elementary schools.
  • The Academic and Behavioral Competencies (ABC) Program was developed to address these issues.
  • Previous interventions lacked comprehensive approaches to behavioral and academic support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and preliminary impact of the schoolwide Academic and Behavioral Competencies (ABC) Program.
  • To assess stakeholder satisfaction with the ABC Program.
  • To evaluate the adaptability of the ABC Program through a replication study.

Main Methods:

  • The ABC Program was implemented in an elementary school serving a high-risk population.

  • Data collected included teacher, parent, and child satisfaction surveys.
  • Unobtrusive measures such as office referrals, suspensions, and homework completion rates were tracked.
  • A replication study in another school district assessed teacher evaluations of satisfaction and effectiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • High levels of satisfaction were reported by teachers, parents, and children.
    • Preliminary data indicated a reduction in principal's office referrals and suspensions.
    • Homework completion rates increased compared to the year before program implementation.
    • Teacher evaluations in the replication study supported the program's flexibility and adaptability.

    Conclusions:

    • The ABC Program demonstrates preliminary positive impacts on classroom behavior and academic task completion.
    • High stakeholder satisfaction suggests the program is well-received.
    • The program's adaptability is supported by successful replication in a new setting.
    • Further systematic evaluation is warranted to confirm the program's efficacy.
