An intervention to modify teaching practices in grades five and six wa s evaluated. Results showed that higher levels of teacher implementati on of the modified practices favorably influenced students' levels of classroom opportunity, involvement, reinforcement, and bonding to scho ol. Levels of academic achievement were also increased. The importance of assessing implemention in theory-guided experimental studies is di scussed.
