Using video modeling via telehealth to increase procedural integrity across teachers implementing the core skills assessment

"The current study sought to assess the effectiveness of a comprehensive video modeling package, which included voice-over, on-screen text, and freeze-frames and was delivered via a telehealth modality, to train staff to implement the core skills assessment with a high degree of procedural integrity. Participants were recruited among new hires to the New England Center for Children and from staff who had been employed for less than one year. A non-concurrent multiple baseline design across teachers and a multiple probe design across tasks were used to examine the effects of the training package to train staff how to assess a student's skill level through procedures such as task analysis, match to sample, and a discrete trial with a high degree of procedural integrity as trained via telehealth. Participants were randomly assigned the order in which they received the trainings per task, and results indicated that the comprehensive video modeling package was effective at increasing procedural integrity for all participants when delivered via telehealth, without the use of feedback."
