Introduction Study was conducted to see if their was a link between test scores in reading and math and better classroom management because disruptions: �Steal valuable teaching and learning time �Hurt positive school climates and student performance �Inhibit how and what teachers feel they can teach � Also, zero tolerance programs that result in suspension or expulsion cause students fall farther behind. �

Method � 700 Students were tested � Test Group: 350 students randomly selected from 14 different schools Schools were matched on similarities in enrollment, percentages of ethnicities, and economically disadvantaged � Pretest was collected in Spring of 1999 and 2000 � Posttest data was collected in the Spring of 2001 and 2002 after two years of CMCD � � Posttest data collected when students were in 4 th, 5 th, and 6 th grade

Results CMCD had a statistically significant effect on the reading and math scores of test group when compared to control students � Math Posttest Scores �CMCD students scored in the 67 th percentile �Control students scored in the 50 th percentile � Reading Posttest Scores �CMCD students scored in the 64 th percentile �Control students scored in the 50 th percentile �

Limitations � Change occurs in context � Implementation takes time and doesn’t happen overnight

Limitations � Change occurs in context � Implementation takes time and doesn’t happen overnight � CMCD only provides management strategies � Does not provide subject based curriculum � Other programs could have contributed to success of test students � Move It Math (MIM) � Success for All (SFA)

Educational Significance of CMCD � More time to teach equals more time to learn:

Educational Significance of CMCD � More time to teach equals more time to learn: �Fewer interruptions during instruction time �Better classroom organization �Better student engagement �Better teacher planning � Survey of teachers indicated that teachers saved 26 minutes/day as a result of CMCD

Educational Significance of CMCD � Creates a climate for learning �Students are engaged and

Educational Significance of CMCD � Creates a climate for learning �Students are engaged and involved �Teachers and students view each other as partners � Teachers report less stress �Reduces number of mental health days used � Children have important roles in the classroom �Children don’t want to be late or absent
