The purpose of this preregistered cluster randomized trial was to examine the effectiveness of a universal social-emotional learning program when implemented under routine conditions in second-grade classrooms. Thirty-nine teachers and 332 students from 13 elementary schools participated in the trial. Teachers randomly assigned to the treatment…

Universal mental health screening is a proactive approach to identify students who may benefit from prevention or early intervention services. Despite known benefits, few schools are engaging in screening efforts, and it is critical to examine factors that may impede or enhance implementation. Following implementation of a universal screening…

Although there are federal regulations requiring gifted education, the implementation and fidelity with which these programs are implemented are varied and often incomplete. This study explored the impact grading systems have on the implementation of gifted programming standards by comparing teacher perception data between schools with traditional…

Teaching parents to serve as interventionists for their children is a common approach to enhance child learning. Research demonstrates that parents are able to implement evidence-based interventions with high integrity; however, there is limited research indicating the extent to which parents are able to maintain skills. We taught parents of two…

Educators have shown reluctance to implement interventions aimed at improving racial equity in school disciplinary practice. Mixed methods were applied to assess and improve the acceptability of a new intervention designed to reduce racial disparities in school discipline. A descriptive concurrent parallel design was used to assess U.S. educators'…

This study aimed to investigate the perceived collective teacher efficacy, teacher attitudes to inclusion of students with special educational needs, and the relationship between the constructs in a sample of Swedish teachers. The participants were 930 teachers involved in the Inclusive Behavioural Support in Schools implementation programme. The…

Given the wide heterogeneity in the autism population, one challenge for intervention studies is to identify outcome measures that have similar meaning across individuals. This is particularly pronounced in intervention studies of adults with autism spectrum disorder, where outcomes such as employment, independence, or community living are common…

Adapting to internationalization at home and the expansion of online learning since COVID-19, higher education institutions (HEIs) have implemented online intercultural programs (OIPs) to develop intercultural competence (IC) in virtual settings. This systematic review examines the empirical studies of IC development in online modality from…

This study examined outcomes from the implementation of a 6-week "Learning to BREATHE" program, which is a mindfulness-based program for adolescents. This study explores behavioral problems, self-efficacy, self-regulation,…

Evidenced-based mathematics interventions are critical for supporting students with mathematics difficulties. In research and practice, collecting implementation fidelity is important for ensuring that all the core components of the intervention are implemented as designed. Historically, implementation fidelity has been defined as multi-faceted…

Although proponents suggest that universal social-emotional learning (SEL) programs promote academic achievement, few studies have directly tested these outcomes under routine conditions in schools. Forty first-grade classrooms participated in an effectiveness trial in which schools (N = 13) were randomly assigned to implementation of a universal…

As universal social-emotional learning (SEL) programs have become more common in K-12 schools, implementation practices have been found to affect program quality. However, research examining how multiple facets of program implementation interrelate and impact student outcomes, especially under routine conditions in schools, is still limited. As…

Although education for sustainable development in early childhood has been a key issue globally at the preschool level for decades, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it does not receive the attention it deserves. For the future professional role of preschool teachers, it is important for them to develop the concept of sustainability as a fundamental…
