Book excerpt: Every year, elementary classroom teachers encounter students that do not follow classroom routines or procedures despite numerous attempts to get them motivated and after trying innovative classroom management plans. Researchers have shown the effectiveness of self management and social skills training with students with maladaptive behaviors. This study will help educators explore an effective approach toward discipline in classroom settings. In this study the participant was a kindergarten student from an elementary school. A functional behavioral assessment was employed to determine the conditions that might interact with his problem behaviors. If such conditions could be identified, the chances of developing an effective treatment would be increased. A multiple baseline design across school settings was utilized. Baseline data were recorded with the aid of a hidden camera during classroom instruction in both settings. The treatment conditions consisted of self management and social skills training. Maladaptive behavior and academic performance were recorded, and viewed at a later time in order to calculate reliability coefficients.
