An Integrative Approach to Improve Child Outcomes through Research-based Parent and Teacher Interventions

2019

The purpose of the project is to adapt two research-based parent and teacher interventions. Both interventions incorporate video exemplars of the target behaviors with caregivers from diverse backgrounds, uploaded videotaped interactions of parents or teachers interacting with children, and caregivers critiquing videotapes of their interactions with their coach remotely. Changes in the target vs. control teachers' responsive and instructional behaviors and evaluate intervention effects on children's skills. Results of the study will show whether raising the quality of parent and teacher responsive behaviors across both the home and center-based classroom settings result in an added benefit to children's learning and development, compared to no intervention in either setting.
