Visit the Northwest Regional Education Laboratory’s website (http://educationnorthwest.org). Search for “School Improvement Research Series.” Choose School Improvement Program Research Series Materials, then Series V, and finally, click on Close-Up #9 School Wide and Classroom Discipline. Select three of the techniques that educators use to minimize disruption in educational settings, and then suggest a single-subject design that could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of each technique. Bear in mind the nature of the misbehavior and the treatment. Which of the designs seems most appropriate? How would you go about conducting your research? Think about things such as operationalizing the target behavior, determining how it will be measured (frequency, duration, magnitude, etc.), deciding on the length of the baseline and treatment periods, and accounting for threats to internal validity.
