abstract="This case study describes the actions and processes of implementing Behavior Support Coaching for Paraprofessionals (BSC-P) with a kindergarten teacher and paraprofessional to support the implementation of behavior support plans with three students in a high-poverty elementary school. BSC-P consists of eight, 40-min coaching sessions using direct observational data to select, implement, and monitor behavior interventions. <br><br>RESULTS indicate high levels of paraprofessional intervention fidelity and positive effects on students' rates of academic engagement (effect sizes [ESs] by students range from 0.10 to 4.42) and off-task behaviors (ESs by student range from 0.30 to 2.87). Increased paraprofessional support and reduced stress were reported. BSC-P was rated as a highly acceptable form of professional development. Implications and future research are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
