COMP is developed by and based on the research of Dr. Carolyn M. Evertson. The program's benefits for teachers and students are shown in the findings of 12 studies in regular and special education resource settings, grades K-12, that span 15 years and involve over 4,000 hours of observation in 581 classrooms in 100 schools. Since 1989, the program has served over 100,000 teachers and administrators in 33 states and American territories. Findings from evaluation studies show clearly that teachers who use COMP principles experience a decrease in student misbehavior while enjoying increases in student academic engagement, student achievement, and personal satisfaction in teaching.
