Description
Abstract This paper provides the outcomes of Project IMPROVE, a pilot study that examined the effectiveness of a workshop designed to train educators in foundational strategies and concepts for effective social skill training. Twenty-two educators participated in a one-day workshop focusing on teaching social skills and appropriate replacement behaviors as part of a five-year training project on positive behavior support. Participants completed pre- and post-workshop surveys that evaluated their perceived knowledge, confidence, and usefulness and actual knowledge for 12 applied behavior analysis concepts and strategies taught in the workshop. Results indicated significant improvements in all areas measured. Results and educational implications are discussed within the context of increasing teachers' knowledge base of validated teaching strategies and improving the research-to-practice gap.
