Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

ParentCorps FUNdamentals

is a series of large-group experiential PD days (in groups of 25-40 participants from across all schools) which takes place in the first summer prior to implementation. Leaders participate in a 2-day FUNdamentals series with leaders from other schools.

BEHAVIORAL

ParentCorps 101 E-learning

is a self-paced interactive web-based series with 7 modules intended to help facilitators build confidence and mastery of evidence-based practices.

BEHAVIORAL

Training

group-based series to prepare facilitators (mental health professionals and teachers) to implement Programs with fidelity and to ensure high levels of exposure by parents and students. Mental health professionals are supported to facilitate the Program for Parents (day and after-school versions) with fidelity. Pre-K teachers and assistants are supported to implement the Program for Students in the classroom. In addition, early childhood staff (including Kindergarten teachers as needed) is trained to facilitate the Program for Students during after-school hours in parallel with the Parenting Program. All facilitators receive training on engaging parents to participate

BEHAVIORAL

Coaching

is one-on-one support provided in-vivo and from a distance (phone, text, email) to help users apply evidence-based practices in daily interactions with students and parents, and to support high levels of implementation fidelity and exposure. All Pre-K teachers and mental health professionals facilitating ParentCorps receive four on-site coaching visits and 10 30-minute calls for the remaining sessions in the first year for each cycle of implementation.
