This study investigated the relationship between student scores on the Behavioral Objective Sequence (BOS) and student placement, the relationship of BOS scores to teacher variables, and the relationship of BOS scores to student variables. Participants in the study were 47 special education teachers serving students with Emotional Disabilities (ED). The teachers reported BOS total and subscale scores for 141 ED students. Student and teacher demographic data was collected. A significant relationship was identified between BOS total scores and student placement. A significant relationship was found between five of the six BOS subscale scores and placement. Student variables, with the exception of socioeconomic status, were not found to have a significant relationship to BOS scores or placement. Teacher variables were not found to have a significant relationship to BOS scores. The results of this investigation indicate that the BOS may be a useful tool for IEP team use in determining appropriate placement for students withED. / Department of Special Education
