This study measured the effects of a targeted intervention, The Cool Tool, implemented in the secondary prevention tier to minimize teacher reprimands and students' on-task behaviors in an urban elementary school. The participants in the social skills intervention programs were seven teachers, across grades K-5. Assessments included pre-posttest classroom observations to measure teacher praise versus reprimand and students' on versus off task behaviors. Data on the effects of the social skills program showed that teachers did not increase their rates of praise statements toward students, however, levels of students' on task behaviors increased following the implementation of a social skill program.
