Title: Identifying


1
Identifying Developing Alternative Effective
Instructional Interventions Strategies
  • Leia Blevins, M.Ed.
  • Project Manager
  • James Fox, Ph.D.
  • Project Director
  • ETSU Make a Difference Project

2
Alternative Teaching Intervention Strategies
  • Why Alternative?
  • Current teaching not working or not working
    enough
  • Student learning not occurring and/or behavior
    problems during instruction
  • identify reasons for student learning problems
  • plan implement alternative teaching

3
Alternative Strategiescontd.
  • Must examine our teaching practices
  • Ineffective or inappropriate teaching
  • Unintentional
  • Compounded by inappropriate or unproductive
    student learning behaviors
  • Make a Difference data other research data
  • FBA recommendations
  • between 33 60 of recommendations

4
Direct Instruction
  • Directly teaching specific skills
  • using evidenced-based teaching procedures
    strategies based on research
  • Using direct measures of skills to make
    instructional decisions

5
Effective Instructional Cycle Major Steps
  • Modeling
  • Guided Practice
  • Independent Practice
  • Feedback

6
MODELING
  • Showing/Telling child correct response
  • Provides correct response before errors occur
  • Examples
  • This is a Red Car (Saying showing/pointing)
  • Dennis, watch me, Im going to ask Tommy to play
    ball Tommy, I play ball?

7
GUIDED PRACTICE
  • Opportunity for child to perform behavior with
    assistance from teacher
  • Assistance
  • Prompting
  • Added teacher behavior or stimulus to jump
    start correct response or appropriate behavior
  • Given before or during opportunity for desired
    behavior
  • Purposes
  • Enable child to get it right
  • Prevent incorrect or inappropriate behavior from
    happening
  • The behavior that happened last in that situation
    is likely to be repeated again the next time

8
GUIDED PRACTICE contd.
  • Types of assistance or prompting
  • Verbal, Physical, both
  • Stimulus prompts
  • Changing the cue or stimulus the child is given
    to increase ability to respond correctly
  • Response prompts
  • Adding something after the cue but before or
    during behavior

9
PROMPTING EXAMPLES
  • Stimulus Prompts
  • Show me B
  • Choices on cards
  • A B
  • Go ask someone to play
  • Teacher stands next to or points at a specific
    peer who is likely to respond positively
  • Response Prompts
  • Verbal Directions
  • When we sit in circle we keep our hands to
    ourselves
  • Modeling
  • Physical Guidance
  • Teacher tells children to make transition
  • Places her hand on Tommys back gives gentle
    push toward next center

10
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
  • Same cue or opportunity to respond
  • No prompting
  • Evaluate whether or not child has learned correct
    response or behavior
  • Without assistance
  • Need clear statement of what correct or
    appropriate behavior is
  • Simple evaluation method
  • Repetition of Correct Behavior in that situation

11
FEEDBACK
  • What teacher or situation supplies that lets
    child know
  • Whether he/she is correct
  • What to do if incorrect or inappropriate behavior
    occurs
  • Occurs relatively quickly after child behavior
    during independent practice
  • Correct Acknowledgement, praise, move on to
    next step
  • Incorrect Correct Error, Repeat Instructional
    Cycle

12
FEEDBACK EXAMPLES
  • After Correct or Appropriate behavior
  • Praise, confirmation of correct response
  • Good job Yes, that is the blue car!
  • Release from task opportunity to engage in more
    preferred activity
  • OK, you cleaned up your table, now you can go to
    the Housekeeping Center
  • After Error or Inappropriate Behavior
  • Error correction
  • This is the blue car (teacher points to blue
    car)
  • You put the papers in the trash but you need to
    put the crayons in the box
  • Mild negative
  • No, this is the blue car (teacher points to blue
    car)
  • No, youre not finished until you put the
    crayons in the box

13
Curriculum-Based Assessment
  • Testing what is taught
  • Steps
  • Identify curriculum samples
  • samples from different levels of difficulty
  • Collect student performance samples
  • Score samples
  • Chart analyze performance data
  • Decide on instruction
  • Repeat assessment analysis

14
Collect Student Performance Samples
  • Short samples of performance in skill
  • performance (Production) vs selection
  • reading short passages
  • writing spelling words dictated by teacher/aide
  • sentences written to story-starter
  • writing answers to math problems
  • Multiple samples at ea. difficulty level
  • Timed (2 - 3 min. each)

Performance Charting Analysis
  • How well does student perform skills?
  • Number correct vs incorrect
  • percentage correct
  • Rate of correct errors per amount of time
  • Evaluation
  • Expert opinion
  • 90 mastery
  • 70 - 90 instructional
  • lt 70 frustration
  • Peer comparison
  • previous (baseline) performance

20
Correct
Incorrect
21
Basic Decision Rules
  • 3 days of little or no growth (lt 25 increase)
  • Slice back to easier skill
  • Teach tool skills - give tool skill practice
  • Change learning channel
  • (See-Write to See-Say)
  • Change task (skill sheet format)
  • Include performance incentive
  • Instruct to errors
  • Student is at Aim for 2 out of 3 trials
  • Move to more difficult task
  • Aim specific level of instructional objective

22
Error Analysis
  • What kinds of Errors does student make?
  • Classify errors
  • categorization by types
  • many ways of categorizing errors
  • Hypothesize "cause of error

23
Error Category Examples
  • Oral Reading
  • ignoring punctuation
  • hesitation
  • repetition
  • insertion
  • self-correction
  • substitution
  • teacher assistance
  • mispronunciation
  • Written Math
  • incorrect operation
  • incorrect number fact
  • incorrect algorithm
  • skip step in procedure
  • wrong step sequence
  • wrong procedure
  • subtract smaller from larger
  • 24 - 18 solved as 8 - 4
  • random error
  • slip careless error
  • error in setting up problem

Analyze Work Samples
  • In place of (?) in addition to CBA
  • Examine for
  • error patterns
  • variations in student performance when components
    of task are changed
  • length
  • format -- written, oral, computer-based
  • grouping--whole class, small group, individual,
    collaborative learning
  • worksheets vs manipulatives

27
Student Report
  • Interview Student
  • Curricular questions
  • Verbalize steps while solving problem
  • Does he/she recognize error?
  • Can he/she correct it?
  • Why did he/she make error?
  • Behavioral questions
  • Liked, disliked subjects Why?
  • Subjects in which he/she has problems Why?
  • What could be changed to make it better, easier?

28
5 Reasons for Academic Learning Problems
  • Wont do the work
  • Performance deficit
  • Cant do the work
  • Task too hard
  • Student needs more practice
  • Student needs more help
  • Hasnt done in this situation before
    (generalization)

29
Wont Do the Work
  • Performance Deficit
  • Motivational problemcompeting behaviors, sources
    of reinforcement
  • Quick check for Performance Deficit
  • Get 3 5 days of baseline chart
  • Using same task, offer student incentive
  • If you beat last several days (baseline)
    performance, I will let you .
  • Use known incentive (effective reinforcer)
  • Present task
  • Collect performance data chart
  • If student performance under incentive increases
    by 15-20, then consider it a performance problem
  • Or Analyze sources of reinforcement for behaviors
    competing with task performance

30
Strategies for Wont Do(examples)
  • Use High Interest Materials
  • Give student choices
  • Which task 1st
  • How to complete, when
  • Use shorter tasks
  • Goal setting
  • Student selects
  • Teacher praise for goal achievement
  • Stern talk
  • Self-monitoring
  • Mystery Motivator
  • Teacher selects goal
  • Clear marker
  • Study Buddy (peer tutor)
  • School Home note reward
  • Treasure chest
  • Box with many small items

31
Cant DoMaterial is Too Hard
  • To test for
  • provide student with easier task/materials
  • if performance improves, task too hard
  • Alternatives
  • slice back in skill sequence to easier skill
  • check teach tool skills
  • Change learning channel
  • See Write to See Say
  • Break task into smaller steps
  • Intersperse (Sandwich) easy with more difficult

32
Cant DoMaterial is Too Hard
  • To test for
  • provide student with easier task/materials
  • if performance improves, task too hard
  • do Wont Do test 1st
  • Alternatives
  • slice back in skill sequence to easier skill
  • check teach tool skills
  • Change learning channel
  • See Write to See Say
  • Break task into smaller steps
  • Intersperse (Sandwich) easy with more difficult

33
Cant DoNeeds More Practice
  • Initial teaching (establishing skill)
  • 10 - 20 allocated time
  • effective instruction cycle
  • Building fluency
  • 80 allocated time for practice
  • Test for
  • Give student task where he has 90 accuracy but
    low rate
  • Baseline performance
  • Increase practice opportunities
  • 3 - 5 x before performance assessment

34
Cant Do Needs More PracticeInterventions
  • Increase time for practice
  • less time for instruction, more for practice
  • Spread practice opportunities throughout day
  • Use flash cards where appropriate
  • Increase task pace
  • incentives for working faster accurate
  • Alter learning channel
  • Drill Overcorrection for error correction
  • e.g.,reading errors
  • immediate feedback (within 3 sec.)
  • model correct, have student repeat 5 times
  • Use Peer tutoring

35
Cant DoNeeds More Help
  • Student has lots of errors
  • increased practice counterproductive?
  • Need to learn/teach skill
  • Test
  • task/skill in which student has high errors low
    rate
  • provide extra help
  • prompting,cueing, modeling, feedback
  • Interventions
  • Tell student steps
  • Model steps
  • Prompting
  • Give feedback
  • immediate
  • corrective
  • model correct
  • Punish incorrect?

36
Cant DoNeeds More Help
  • Response Cards for teaching in small large
    groups
  • increases opportunities to respond
  • Comprehension Instruction
  • Student reads
  • Teacher stops asks comprehension question at
    appropriate point
  • student reads new story, teacher reminds student
    to ask himself questions
  • Teach student signal to request help
  • Tape recordings to increase vocabulary words
  • teacher tapes words
  • student follows along reads
  • Listening Passage Preview
  • student listens to adult or peer read then reads
  • Cover, Copy Compare

37
Make Learning Easy(Reduce Chances for Errors)
  • Be prepared
  • Know what, how you will teach, have materials
    available accessible to you
  • Simplify teaching situation
  • Reduce distractions, keep materials reinforcers
    out of reach
  • Use clear simple requests
  • Get attention first, then present request/task
  • Keep it simple, clear, concrete behavioral
    request
  • Use prompting

38
Prompting
  • Definition
  • Jump-starting a behavior
  • added stimulus to set occasion for behavior
  • not a part of goal Stimulus for target behavior
  • added stimulus likely to get behavior to occur
  • use a fully charged battery to jump start
  • Types
  • Stimulus Prompts vs Response Prompts
  • gestural or verbal
  • 2 dimensional or model
  • partial or full

39
Response Prompts
  • an extra stimulus that will get behavior started
  • teacher assistance
  • before a response occurs
  • to increase probability of correct behavior

40
Response Prompt Examples
  • Teacher What is the capital of Tennessee?
  • Teacher Response Prompt Na.
  • Student response Nashville
  • Teacher Presents blue yellow cards says
    Phil, Point to blue
  • Teacher Physically guides Phils hand part way
    toward blue card
  • Phil touches blue card

41

43
Response Prompt Examples
  • Teacher What is the capital of Tennessee?
  • Teacher Response Prompt Na.
  • Student response Nashville
  • Teacher Presents blue yellow cards says
    Phil, Point to blue
  • Teacher Physically guides Phils hand part way
    toward blue card
  • Phil touches blue card

44
Stimulus Prompts
  • Adding something to stimulus to increase correct
    response
  • Movement cues
  • Position cues
  • Redundancy cues

45
Stimulus Prompt Examples
  • Teacher Presents blue yellow cards says
    Phil, Point to blue
  • Teacher taps at blue card (movement cue)
  • Teacher places blue card nearer to Phil
    (poisition cue)
  • Teacher makes blue card larger than yellow card
    (redundancy cue)
  • Phil touches blue card

46
Error Correction
  • Teacher assistance
  • after incorrect response
  • vs. "No" "That's incorrect (an aversive)
  • No only tells what is incorrect,
  • what NOT TO DO next time
  • guessing game
  • What is 2 2? ? 5 ? No ? 10 ? No ?
    1
  • Corrective Feedback
  • model or give information about correct response
  • What is 2 2? ? 5 ? 22 is 4 ? What is
    22? ? 4 ? Thats right!

47
Fading Prompts
  • Prompting requires
  • Hierarchy of Prompts
  • plan for fading prompts increasing learner
    independence
  • shifting stimulus control
  • Strategies
  • Antecedent Prompt Test
  • Most to Least Prompting
  • Least to Most Prompting
  • Graduated Guidance
  • Time Delay

48
Time Delay
  • Definition
  • Shifting control by delaying when prompt is
    presented
  • Most to Least Least to Most change type of
    prompt
  • Types
  • progressive 0 sec delay to 1 sec to 3 sec to
    5
  • constant 0 to standard dely interval

49
Time Delay Example
  • Child cant read off task when frustrated
  • teach sight word recognition of common words
  • cards with words, Say the word (goal cue)
  • Progressive procedure
  • show card, Say the word, 0 sec delay, teacher
    says word, student imitates
  • correct --gt praise next word
  • 100 correct for 3 days
  • 3 sec delay
  • correct --gt praise next word
  • incorrect (wrong or exceeds 3 sec.), model
    correct have student repeat it

50
Most to Least Prompting
  • Begin with most intrusive/effective prompt
  • Reduce prompting as student progresses
  • Need
  • hierarchy of prompts
  • performance criterion for reducing prompts
  • Steps
  • Target Stimulus --gt PROMPT --gt Correct
  • Target Stimulus --gt prompt --gt Correct
  • Target Stimulus --gt prompt --gt Correct
  • Target Stimulus ----------------gt Correct

51
Most-to-Least Example
  • Teaching eye contact to child with autism
  • gaze aversion vs eye contact
  • Prompt hierarchy
  • Look at me or call name (goal cue)
  • hold reinforcer in face, touch chin, turn head,
    hold head, your face in his face (added prompts)
  • deliver all of prompts goal cue --gt eye contact
  • looking at 100, then gradually eliminate
  • face in face then holding head then turning
    head, etc.

52
What are Materials Modifications/Adaptations
  • Changes which result in enhancement of
    instructional stimuli to allow students to more
    readily attain the consequence of instruction

53
9 Types of Materials Modifications-Adaptations
(Ebeling, Deschenes, Sprague, 1994)
  • Output
  • Participation
  • Alternative Goals
  • Substitute Curriculum
  • Size
  • Time
  • Level of Support
  • Input
  • Difficulty

54
Size
  • Adapt number of items learner is expected to
    learn or complete.
  • (Reducing the response cost of an activity and
    providing greater opportunity for reinforcement)
  • Examples
  • Dividing worksheet into multiple strips
  • Multiple Brief Lessons

55
Time
  • Adapt time allotted or allowed for learning, task
    completion, or testing.
  • Examples
  • Extended time for test taking
  • Setting an appropriate lesson pace

56
Level of Support

  • Class Wide Peer Tutoring
  • Peer Buddies
  • Increase material support
  • graphic organizers,
  • guided notes
  • Physical Support
  • Carrels
  • Seating Placement
  • Schedules (visible)
  • Rules (visible)

57

  • Adapt HOW instruction is delivered to learner
  • Computer Assisted Instruction
  • Strategy Training
  • Direct Instruction

58
Difficulty
  • Adapt skill level, problem type, or rules on how
    learner may approach the work.
  • Appropriate Placement within Curriculum (CBM)
  • Choices of tasks, order of completion
  • Include multiple problem types to address
    curriculum components (Levels of Learning)
  • alternating easy hard tasks

59
Participation
  • Adapt extent learner is actively involved in the
    task
  • Cooperative Learning

  • Partial Participation

60
Output
  • Adapt how learner can respond to instruction.
  • Alter written to verbal response or vice-versa
  • Allow student to use word processor
  • Response Cards
  • Cooperative Learning Groups

61
Alternate Goals
  • Adapt goals or outcome expectations while using
    the same materials.
  • Integrating School Survival Skills within the
    context of the General Education Curriculum
  • Identifying the Big Ideas (Kameenui Carnine,
    1998)

62
Substitute Curriculum
  • Provide different instruction materials to meet
    a learners individual goals.
  • School Survival Skills
  • Functional Skills Curriculum

63
Instructional Procedure Curricular Modifications
  • Examples

64
Jolivette, Lassman, Wehby (1998)
  • Modifying instruction improved academic
    learning
  • Student
  • 2nd grade, EBD, problems with mixed math
    operations (adding subtracting)
  • Procedures
  • advanced organizer (inspect, identify, highlight
    sign solve)
  • counting up, hand to head with subtraction sign
    number
  • Template to isolate each problem
  • Counting up best for On-Task Accuracy

67
Dunlap, Foster-Johnson, Clarke, Kern Childs
(1995)
  • Modify instructional activities for functional
    outcomes
  • Students
  • 3 adolescents (9-13 yrs) (autism, mental
    retardation, SED, Opp Defiant Disorder)
  • ID problem tasks functional outcomes
  • write captions for photographs, photo album
    (Jill)
  • copy sentences laminated and used by others
    (Natalie)
  • assembly taskmaking preferred snacks (Jary)
  • More On-task fewer problem behaviors

68
Mattingly Bott (1990)
  • Multiplication facts 0 - 9
  • students
  • 4 learning-behavior disordered, 5th 6th grade
  • 100 facts, 0-9, 3 x 5 cards 6 sets of facts
  • Procedure
  • Look -- Read the fact -- Say the answer
  • 1st trial was 0 time delay
  • all others 5 sec delay before teacher says answer
  • correct received praise
  • incorrect received time delayed correct answer
  • no wait received teacher head down time out 5
    sec

69
  • conventional wisdom
  • reading instruction at each student's
    instructional level,
  • level at which a student is 91-95 successful at
    word recognition and 75 successful at answering
    literal comprehension questions about the
    reading.
  • If students routinely more successful than this,
    then they are at an independent reading level and
    are not likely to gain new reading skills.
  • If students are less successful than the
    instructional level, then they are struggling
    with too many words and are likely to become
    frustrated.

70
Areas to Consider
Chameleon changes according to the environment
71
What works for one may not work for another
  • Learning styles (auditory, visual, tactile,
    etc.)
  • Reinforcers (intrinsic, extrinsic, etc)
  • Disability characteristics
  • Distractable (attends to everything)
  • Hypersensitive (sounds, lights, etc)
  • Physiological (illness, medications, etc)

72
Environmental Arrangement of Classroom
  • Space
  • Student independence accessing materials
  • Quiet/active space
  • Density
  • Room to move w/o bothering others
  • Physical Boundaries
  • Mobility - do boundaries prevent inclusion?

73
Classroom Physical Layout
  • Does the arrangement of the classroom add to
    distractions ?
  • Example - Mitch

Increase Task Engagement and Class Participation
  • Maximizes students learning time
  • Decreases challenging behaviors
  • Increases social opportunities
  • Makes learning fun
  • Decreases boredom

80
Ways to Increase Task Engagement/Participation
contd.
  • Using Schedules (classwide/individual)
  • Prepares student for the day
  • Reduces anxiety
  • Encourages student independence
  • Transitions
  • Clear expectations
  • Routines
  • Cues/prompts

81
Ways to Increase Task Engagement/Participation
contd.
  • Cooperative Learning
  • Students working in small group
  • May need to start one/one and slowly increase
  • Greater opportunity for practicing cognitive
    skills ( reasoning, analyzing, etc.)
  • Relationship building
  • Improve interpersonal, collaborative problem
    solving skills

82
Ways to Increase Engagement/Participation contd.
  • Its all in the lesson delivery
  • Objectives stated
  • Reminder of possible rewards
  • Make it exciting, make eye contact, gestures, use
    visuals, etc
  • Be prepared and organized

83
Ways to Increase Engagement/Participation contd.
  • Direct Instruction
  • Modeling
  • Guided Practice
  • Independent Practice
  • Feedback

84
IDEAS for Increasing Engagement Participation
contd.
  • Response Boards
  • Hot Pursuit tickets
  • Dialing for Rewards
  • Spinning for Assignments
  • Jeopardy
  • Family Feud

85
Strategies for Increasing Compliance
86
Strategies for Increasing Compliance
  • Premack Principle - Also know as Grandmas rule
    If you want ____, you have to do ______.
  • Behavior Momentum
  • Issuing positive and fun requests before issuing
    more difficult requests
  • Helps build up momentum for compliance
  • Example Given directions for pleasant activity
    before challenging assignments are made

87
Strategies for Increasing Compliance contd.
  • Providing Choices Providing choices gives
    students the opportunity to have some control
    over their environment
  • High Probability Request to increase likelihood
    that a student will perform non-preferred tasks

88
Positive Behavior Strategies
89
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Tolerance for Delay Gradually increase time
    student remains engaged in activity or other
    appropriate behavior
  • without challenging behavior
  • need to determine critical time period

90
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Critical Time Period shortest time student will
    engage in an activity without challenging
    behavior
  • Delay signal to signal student activity is
    about to end, Just 1 more
  • Safety signal temporarily releases student from
    task/activity, Why dont you take a short
    break.

91
Positive Behavior Strategies contd.
  • Tolerance for Delay steps
  • Deliver Delay Signal
  • once student is engaged just before Critical
    Time Period
  • Deliver Safety Signal
  • release student from activity
  • Gradually increase task engagement
  • amount of time engaged before Delay cue
  • or, amount of time between Delay Safety cues
  • Monitor Learner Progress

92
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Format Use direct requests instead of questions
  • Example I want you to stop teasing Kim and
    begin your math, instead of Will you please
    stop teasing Kim and get to work?

93
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Distance and Loudness of Request
  • Reduces amount of attention drawn to student
  • Decreases students need to save face
  • Eye Contact
  • Need to have the students full attention
  • Shows student you mean business

94
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Limit Requests
  • Give only one/two simple request at a time
  • Students loose track of what they are supposed to
    do
  • Make request specific Please sit in your seat
    with your feet on the floor

95
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Contracts
  • Should be written
  • Everyone should agree and sign
  • Keep your end of the bargain
  • Do not give the reinforcement if it is not earned

96
Contracts
  • State specifically what is expected of the
    student
  • State specifically what is given as the
    reinforcer (who, when where)

97
Contracts
  • Help the student agree to a reasonable
    expectation for his/her behavior and a reasonable
    result.
  • Modify the contract as needed.
  • Have a beginning and ending date.

98
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Group Contingencies
  • Get the group to help one peer
  • example stop responding to inappropriate
    attempts for attention
  • example initiate conversations
  • example giving compliments

99
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Group Contingencies
  • Be careful not to set up a student to incur the
    wrath of peers
  • Be careful not to let the student set the group
    up to fail
  • Let entire class earn rewards for individual
    successes

100
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Restitutional Overcorrection
  • The student is required to make the environment
    better than it was before the misbehavior
    occurred
  • Example Student writes on a desk, he/she will be
    required to wash off all the desks in the
    classroom.

101

Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Self Monitoring
  • The ultimate goal of every behavior plan
  • Particularly appropriate as students become older
  • Builds in self-esteem and empowerment
  • Start out monitoring with the student 100 of the
    time
  • When student understands expectations, gradually
    decrease monitoring on an irregular schedule

102
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Self-Monitoring
  • Eventually monitor less frequent and decrease
    external reinforcers
  • Teach the student to monitor his/her own
    reinforcers
  • Help him/her learn to look for cues for behaviors
    and make choices

103
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Reinforce Compliance
  • Do not ignore compliance
  • Give specific praise when a student is compliant
  • Close Approximation A journey of a thousand
    miles start with a single step

104
Positive Behavior Strategies
  • Create a menu of rewards
