Teacher Training, Universal Behavioral Supports
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a responsive approach to training teachers to increase their use of evidence-based classroom management practices. The main question to answer is whether teachers increase their use of a target classroom management practice when they receive the intervention. All participants will receive the intervention. The target practice for which they receive intervention will be randomly assigned. Participants will submit videos of an instructional activity in their classroom 1-2 times per week over a period of 12-15 weeks. They will be asked to complete online modules on classroom management practices and to self-monitor their use of one classroom management practice. Participants may also be asked to graph their data, watch videos of themselves teaching, or implement peer coaching with a classmate or other participant. Researchers will compare the change in target classroom management practices between groups to test if the change in the group who targeted the practice is greater than the change in the group who did not target the practice.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMulti-Tiered Systems of Support for Teacher Training
In tier 1 of the intervention, all participants will complete online modules on the target practice and self-monitoring. They will then self-monitor the target practice for approximately three weeks. Non-responders will receive intensified intervention (tier 2) in which they will complete an online module on self-management. They will then self-manage their use of the target practice for approximately 3 weeks. Continued non-responders will receive peer coaching on the target practice (tier 3). Responders to tiers 2-3 will move down a tier after 3 weeks of response.
