Mr. Dedeaux comes to your classroom the week before you start your job in a new school. He looks to see the list of which students will be in your class. "Yikes! You have Matthew and Clark! I am so sorry…they are so difficult. They're both lazy and unmotivated. I had Clark in class last year and he made my life miserable.". You think to yourself,
a. "I'm glad to have this information, just as I'm glad to have access to the boys' cumulative recordsbut I'm going to take it with a grain of salt.".
b. "I'm so glad he told me this. Now I can start out really tough on these two boys so they know they can't get away with anything.".
c. "Well, I can always give them lots of skill sheets to do and tell them that they can't participate in the really exciting activities until they've completed the worksheets. That should motivate them.".
d. "I never listen to anything another teacher says about a student. I want every child to have a completely blank slate in my classroom.".

What will be an ideal response?
Ariel is a 7th grade student who has regularly expressed her dislike for writing and writing conventions in particular. Her educational team has noted that she frequently refuses to use capitalization and even basic punctuation including periods and question marks. Ms. Atkins mentions she tried using a reward system with Ariel to challenge her writing in the language arts class. Ms. Atkins tells
the team she designed a rubric to keep score on how Ariel performed on writing conventions. If Ariel met or exceeded the minimum rubric score on an assignment, she was allowed to listen to her ipad during free reading time. Ms. Atkins said her program had worked beautifully. Ms. Palmer (science), Ms. Leslie (social studies), and Ms. Hart (math), all remarked they had seen absolutely no improvement in Ariel's written work. They decided to try the program in all 3 classes beginning the following Monday using the same rubric and same reinforcement program (listening to her ipad at an appropriate point in class). Ms. Atkins suggested just to make sure they are not overwhelming Ariel, that each of the other teachers introduces the program a different week. Ms. Palmer will start this Monday, Ms. Leslie the following Monday, and Ms. Hart on the 3rd Monday. The teachers agreed they would each measure Ariel's performance with the rubric on the Friday prior to the implementation of the program in their class to serve as reference point for Ariel's improvement. Suppose that Ms. Palmer implements the program on a Monday & Ms. Leslie and Ms. Hart also find Ariel improves in her use of writing conventions in their classes beginning that same week. How would you describe these events in research terminology?
