Abstract
This study examines the effect of using active supervision, pre-correction, and daily data review on occurrences of minor behavioral incidents in a sixth grade general education classroom. The results suggest a functional relationship between the use of the teacher-training package and concomitant decreases in minor behavioral incidents. The findings from this study extend the existing literature on the use of active supervision and pre-correction, and establish a useful model for bringing teachers in contact with proactive instructional strategies.
