Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: This study will employ a multiple-gate screening procedure to identify 144 teacher-child dyads. All children from ages 8 to 12 (grades 5, 6, 7) years attending the 62 participating schools will be included in this procedure and screened. Step 1 inclusion: all children with (sub)clinical levels of conduct problems will be identified; Step 2 inclusion: teachers who report a conflictuous relationship with all of the children in their class who were identified in step 1 will be selected; Step 3 inclusion: When more than 1 conflictuous teacher-child dyad is identified within one class, one dyad will be randomly selected; Step 4 inclusion: Finally, schools will be included when they have at least two conflictuous teacher-child dyads. If a participating school has two or three dyads, two dyads will be randomly selected to participate. If a participating school has more than four dyads, four dyads will be randomly selected to participate in the study.

Schools will be excluded when they are participating in an intensive intervention aimed at reducing childrens' conduct problems during the schoolyear in which MMC is conducted; 2. Teachers of the selected schools will be excluded when they are participating in another intensive behavioral teacher-training during the schoolyear in which MMC is conducted 3.
