Prior to the start of the intervention; each class was observed once a week during the 4-week baseline period and once a week during weeks 9 to 12 of the intervention period; 5 second observation periods were used
Study Results: The implementation of Take10! In elementary school classrooms resulted in significant increases in on-task behavior.
