The measurement tool used was a behavioral checklist provided by Harford County Public Schools. The students selected in this study had an ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score of a three or higher. This study involved the use of a pretest and a posttest design to compare the data. This study suggests teaching, implementing coping skills and providing tools increased positive student behavior in a classroom setting. Research in this area should continue with a condensed group of students.29 Pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
