Summary

The goal of the study is to conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the impact of the Classroom Behavior Support Program (CBS; a multi-component, individually-tailored teacher consultation program) on teachers' classroom management practices (universal and targeted) and resulting student behavioral and educational outcomes relative to a best practices comparison consultation condition.

Detailed description

Participants will be 165 general education teachers (teaching Kindergarten through 6th grade) who have room for growth in classroom management skills, along with their classroom of students and one target student with inattentive and/or disruptive behavior problems. Teachers will be recruited over 3 cohorts (1 cohort per year). Teachers will be randomly assigned to one of two consultation conditions and participate for an entire academic year. Teachers in both conditions will be scheduled to receive consultation every other week between August and December and one time per month between January and March. The focus of the consultation will be teacher implementation of universal classroom management practices (Tier 1) and the targeted intervention applied with the target student (either a daily report card and organization intervention; Tier 2). Teachers will be observed weekly and data from observation will be incorporated into consultation sessions. Investigators will examine the main effects of consultation on growth in teacher practices (universal and targeted) and change in proximal and distal student outcomes (classwide and in target students), as well as the mediators and moderators of these effects.
