This action research project describes an intervention to increase attending and on-task behaviors in first- and second-grade students. The problem of inattentive behaviors was documented by means of teacher, student, and parent surveys and teacher observations. The intervention used behavioral management, organizational strategies, role playing, and cooperative grouping to increase attending and on-task behaviors. Post-intervention data indicated that targeted students demonstrated an improvement in their attending and on-task behaviors. (Six appendices contain surveys and checklists. Contains 26 references.)
