    A single subject alternating treatment design across three teacher-student dyads was used to investigate the comparative impact on student academic engaged time (AET) of three common opportunities to respond (OTR) interventions, a) guided notes, b) class-wide peer tutoring, and c) response cards. Subjects were three students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD) who displayed both failing academic performance and high rates of problem behavior. All selected dyads were within a high school math class. Results indicated all OTR interventions were effective in improving percentage of AET and related academic outcomes. Using visual analysis and an additional replication phase, response cards proved to the most efficacious in improving student outcomes. Implications for future research and practice within high school are discussed

    The Relation Between the Academic Achievement of Students With Emotional and Behavioral Disorders and Teacher Characteristics

    Teachers of students with emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBD) are less experienced and more likely to have emergency certification than teachers of students with other disabilities. Yet, to date, research has not examined the relation between the academic achievement of students with EBD and characteristics associated with highly qualified teachers (teachers\u27 education level, certification status, and years of experience). Using a nationally representative longitudinal data set of students with disabilities, this study examined the relation between teacher characteristics and the academic achievement of students with EBD. Using hierarchical linear modeling, the study found low academic achievement for students with EBD, null effects for change in achievement across time, and null effects for the relation between (a) teachers\u27 educational level, certification status, and years of experience and (b) student academic achievement. Results indicate further research is needed to examine whether and how teacher characteristics may impact the academic achievement of students with EBD
