Study Details

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 and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Teacher Training Evaluation

Participants will be randomized to a target practice group. The group will receive the multi-tiered systems of support (online instruction, self-monitoring, self-management) for the target practice. They will not receive instruction on the non-target practice until after study data collection concludes.

no intervention: Control

Participants will not receive intervention on the non-target practice until after study data collection concludes. This practice will serve as the comparison for the group who received intervention on the practice.

Interventions

Multi-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.

Primary outcome measure

  • Change in the frequency of the target practice [ Time Frame: Baseline, endpoint (15 weeks from start date) ]
