Replication Study of BEST in CLASS: Coaches’ perspectives on implementing an evidence-based practice in typical settings

BEST in CLASS is a tier 2 intervention to prevent and reduce challenging behaviors and promote appropriate behaviors in preschoolers. Through coaching, early childhood teachers are empowered to deliver evidence-based practices with children at risk for social-emotional and behavioral delays. In this presentation, we will share coaches’ perspectives about the successes and challenges they experienced implementing BEST in CLASS under real-word conditions in Head Start classrooms.
