Abstract
Improving classroom management skills is a common theme in professional development offerings. Teachers’ use of higher levels of high-leverage practices such as proximity, opportunities to respond (OTR), and positive feedback (PFB) have been linked to better student outcomes (Reinke, Sprick, & Knight, 2009; Skinner, Belfiore, Mace, Williams-Wilson, & Johns, 1997). This study investigated the effects of basic group instruction paired with instructional coaching via bug-in-the-ear (BIE) technology on in-service teacher’s use of high leverage teaching practices (HLP). One district-employed instructional coach administered an intervention to three elementary school teachers with four to thirteen years of experience in a rural community school. In this multiple baseline across participants design an instructional coach offered succinct phrasing via BIE in order to coach teachers to increase the target HLPs. The practices targeted for measurement included: proximity, opportunities to respond (OTR), and positive feedback (PFB). Results of the study as well as implications for future research were discussed.
