Training Kindergarten Students Lockdown Drill Procedures Using Behavioral Skills Training
Dickson, Misty Jo; Vargo, Kristina K.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v50 n2 p407-412 Spr 2017
During situations in which a gunman is present on a school campus, lockdowns are initiated until the threat is removed. However, there are no data demonstrating an effective teaching strategy to increase students' correct responding during a lockdown. We evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach three groups of kindergarten students how to respond during lockdown drills. Results showed that participant groups displayed increases in correct steps and decreases in noise levels after BST was implemented; these effects maintained following training.
