In this study, we examined the effects of a tiered teacher coaching intervention package, including video coaching and in situ coaching with use of the bug-in-ear technology, on the implementation fidelity of four general education teachers in supporting students with persistent off-task behaviors to self-monitor own behaviors in the general education setting. In addition, we evaluated the effects of teachers' implementation on the on-task behavior of four target students. Results of the multiple probe across participants design showed that there was a functional relation between the tiered coaching intervention and the teachers' implementation fidelity. There was also an overall improvement in all of the four students' on-task behaviors. Limitations, suggestions for future research, and implications for practice are discussed.
