classroom organization and management program (COMP) - correct answer--developed by
Carolyn Evertson and it has a particularly strong track record in terms of its impacts on
students. a number of studies have shown that COMP decreases student disruptive
behavior and increases student engagement, and increases stuent achievement
-designed to be an inquiry-based approach to staff development for K-12 educators
effect size - correct answer-a metric used in meta-analyses.
- An average effect size of -.909 can be interpreted to mean that in classes where
disciplinary procedures were used effectively, the average number was .909 standard
deviations less than the average number of disruptions in classrooms that did not effectively
employ disciplinary procedires.
-.909 translates into a decrease of 32 percentile points relative to the average number of
class disruptions.
- effect sizes translate into percentile changes
- make a strong case that effective use of classroom management techniques can
dramatically decrease the disruptions in your class
effective discipline - correct answer-is a combination of effective management at the school
level and effective management at the class room level
effective teachers - correct answer-appear to be effective with students of all achievement
levels regardless of the levels of heterogeneity in their classes.
- have a wide array of instructional stragegies
-skilled in cooperative learning, and graphic organizers, and know how to use homework,

-
good classroom managers - correct answer-are teachers who understand and use specific
techniques. Awareness of and training in these techniques can change teacher behavior,
which in turn changes student behavior and ultimately affects students achievement
positively.
group work - correct answer-a particularly cooperative group work- is a powerful instructional
activity.
-cooperative learning groups have a positive impact on student achievement, interpersonal
relationships, and attitudes about learning.
meta-analysis - correct answer--is an approach to research that was formally developed by a
researcher Gene Glass and his colleagues McGaw and Smith in the early 1970s
- it is a technique for quantitatively combining the results from a number of studies.
-has been used extensively in the fields of education, psychology, and medicine.
- has an experimental group and a control group
