Abstract

Daily Behavior Report Cards (DBRCs) have proven effective across a vast array of behaviors and students by provide a rating system for school staff to report students’ behavior progress. The current meta-analysis included eleven studies between 2007-2022, wherein participants ranged from preschool to sixth grade. The current study further investigated the evidence base by including the current What Works Clearinghouse standards (2020) to determine methodological rigor of single-case designs employing DBRCs. Standardized mean difference calculations for omnibus effect showed that DBRCs significantly improve student outcomes. Moderators of DBRC IOA, multiple baseline design type, and publication status explained some variability within the studies. Results are interpreted within their limitations.
