A Comparative Analysis Of Applied Behavior Analysis And The Montessori Method, Emily Webb
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education

Using Response Cards In Inclusive Classrooms, Kaitlin Ayers
Theses and Dissertations--Early Childhood, Special Education, and Counselor Education
Inclusive classrooms consist of students with and without disabilities. It is often difficult for teachers to find ways to incorporate all students equally in classroom discussions. Often students with disabilities tend to participate less than their typically developing peers. For teachers to be effective in their classroom it is important for them to follow high leverage practices. One high-leverage practice strategy for teachers to incorporate in their classroom is the use of response cards (RCs). Response cards are evidence-based practices for increasing active engagement, academic achievement, on-task behavior, as well as decreasing problem behaviors. In order for students to have …
