Helping teachers maintain classroom management practices using a self-monitoring checklist

• Maintaining implementation accuracy is critical in education.
• Teachers were trained in classroom management practices and provided performance feedback to achieve implementation accuracy.
• Performance feedback was then discontinued and teachers self-monitored implementation accuracy using a checklist.
• Results suggest a self-monitoring checklist can be a useful tool to help teachers maintain implementation accuracy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which the use of a self-monitoring checklist helped teachers maintain use of evidence-based classroom management practices. Teachers used the self-monitoring checklist after high initial levels of implementation accuracy and consistency of the Good Behavior Game classroom management practices were achieved with didactic training and performance feedback. A multiple baseline single subject design across teachers was used to assess the research questions. Results indicate that teacher's use of the self-monitoring checklist helped them maintain classroom management practices. The results are discussed and future research is recommended.
