Project Description:

An investigation of the implementation of practice-based coaching through a group format will be tested in a randomized trial. Vanderbilt University and the University of South Florida will conduct this study within Head Start programs or Early Childhood Programs that serve low income children. The study will include 64 teachers across the two study sites. Teachers will be randomly assigned to a condition where they receive training only and a comparison condition where they receive 8 group coaching sessions paired with 8 distance coaching sessions. In the second year of the study, the research staff coach will mentor the program coach in implementing group coaching with the control group. Measures will include teacher implementation of practices, classroom interaction, and teacher ratings of child social skills and problem behavior.
