BEST in CLASS (Behavioral, Emotional, and Social Training: Competent Learners Achieving School Success) is an evidence-based Tier 2 intervention for children at-risk for emotional/behavioral disorders.
Increase teacher use of evidence-based classroom management practices using CW-FIT. Learn about how an innovative district coaching model and online professional development system can support coaching and teacher implementation in low resource settings.
Given increasing cultural diversity and disparities in outcomes, the need to evaluate the cultural responsiveness is greater than ever.
Practice-based coaching (PBC) promotes a strong collaborative partnership between teachers and coaches to facilitate the use of effective instructional practices. The PBC process includes skills instruction on BEST in CLASS practices, shared goals and action planning, implementation support, classroom observation, and reflection and feedback.
In this presentation, we share coach and program developer perspectives on barriers and facilitators of coaching educators to deliver behavioral interventions in early childhood settings.
This presentation will describe the development of BEST in CLASS and discuss considerations for conducting large-scale effectiveness research in the context of partnerships with local early child education programs.
