Behavioral problems in the classroom are a prevalent issue that negatively impacts student academic achievement, and contributes to teacher attrition and mental health problems. The time teachers spend retroactively addressing student behavior problems impedes on their ability to provide effective classroom instruction. Although evidence-based classroom behavioral management strategies exist, there is a need for specific training to help teachers competently apply those skills. The implementation of an interactive positive behavior classroom management web-based instructional application will be developed and evaluated with teachers in school across Utah and Nationwide.
