| Abstract: |
High rates of teacher turnover are of critical concern for education agencies on a national level. When surveyed, teachers commonly report that student problem behavior is a primary motivator for leaving the profession. Previous research indicates that efforts to promote classroom management skills that address disruptive student behavior may alleviate some of the stress that leads to teacher burnout. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the Good Behavior Game on self-reported stress levels in teachers. The rate of academically engaged behavior in students was also assessed as a secondary outcome measure. A multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effects of teacher implementation of the Good Behavior Game within three elementary-level classrooms at a Title I school. Overall, the results indicate that the Good Behavior Game intervention procedures were effective in decreasing teacher stress levels and increasing academically engaged behavior in students. |
