“…Regardless, Madison's maintenance data indicated high and stable levels of EID implementation, suggesting she mastered this skill in response to emailed prompts. Overall, these results are commensurate with previous research in that emailed prompts were effective for improving teachers' intervention integrity (Collier-Meek, Fallon, & DeFouw, 2017;Fallon et al, 2018;LaBrot, Johnson, et al, 2022).…”

“…Emailed prompts were programmed to be sent automatically via Boomerang within Outlook. When a teacher opened a daily email, a read receipt with a date/time confirmation was sent to the research team (Collier‐Meek, Fallon, & DeFouw, 2017; LaBrot, Johnson, et al., 2022). Madison opened 100% of her emails (8/8), Mariah opened 83.33% of her emails (5/6), and Marissa opened 71.43% of her emails (5/7).…”

“…Although these are effective classroom management practices, there are various other practices that should be evaluated to determine the range of procedures emailed prompts are effective for promoting. Third, only LaBrot, Johnson, et al (2022) evaluated the maintenance and generalization of teacher outcomes. Collecting maintenance and generalization data are crucial for determining both the long-term effectiveness (i.e., intervention is sustained) and efficiency (i.e., intervention spontaneously generalizes) of emailed prompts.…”

“…To address these limitations, LaBrot, Johnson, et al. (2022) utilized a multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate the effectiveness of daily emailed prompts for increasing three early childhood teachers' rates of behavior‐specific praise. This study sought to specifically measure teachers' delivery of behavior‐specific praise over time and generalization from the target activities (i.e., morning center time/small group activities) to nontargeted activities (i.e., afternoon center time).…”

Young children's noncompliance with adult instructions has the potential to lead to a variety of other internalizing and externalizing difficulties that impact learning, behavior, and overall development. Although a variety of effective intervention strategies exist, early childhood teachers may not be well equipped to consistently implement these strategies to prevent and address young children's noncompliance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a novel teacher implementation support, emailed prompts, to promote early childhood teachers' effective instruction delivery with three children referred for noncompliance and related challenging behaviors. Results indicated that all three teachers increased their accuracy of effective instruction delivery with concomitant improvements in children's response to instructions, including compliance. Furthermore, data suggested that all three teachers spontaneously generalized effective instruction delivery to other non‐referred children in their classrooms. Results, implications, and limitations are discussed.
