Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an enhancement to early care and education, which is a professional development series that includes a foundational training and skill development workshops focused on training and supporting early learning supervisors in Reflective Practice and Supervision. Directors and education coordinators within state pre-kindergarten programs, and the teachers they supervise, will be the focus of this research. Hypothesized outcomes include promotion of reflective capacity and supervisory skill in supervisors, more effective supervisor-supervisee interactions, increases in reflective functioning and well-being in supervisees, increases in positive teaching practices and observed classroom quality, and increases in adaptive social-emotional development among children alongside prevention of emotion regulation difficulties. Researchers will compare whether these outcomes differ between participants who are currently receiving the Reflective Supervision enhancement and participants who are in the waitlist control condition.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants (i.e., early learning supervisors) will be randomized to the experimental condition (i.e., the Reflective Supervision enhancement) or the waitlist control condition (i.e., business-as-usual).

Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Classroom observations will be conducted by study staff who are not aware of which study condition (i.e., experimental or waitlist control) participants are enrolled in.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Reflective Supervision Enhancement

The Reflective Supervision enhancement is a professional development series for supervisors of state pre-kindergarten programs that is designed to build skills in using Reflective Supervision with teachers. The goal of the Reflective Supervision enhancement is to provide supervisors with foundational knowledge in Reflective Practice and Supervision and increase their use of Reflective Supervision principles and practices within their work. The series consists of a day-long foundational training and nine skills-focused workshops. Supervisors are expected to receive 8 hours of foundational training prior to the start of the academic year, and nine 2-hour monthly small groups over the course of the academic year.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Reflective Supervision Enhancement

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Reflective Supervision enhancement is a professional development series designed to train and support directors and education coordinators supervising state pre-kindergarten classrooms in using a reflective supervision approach with their staff.

Business-As-Usual Waitlist Control

Supervisors in the business-as-usual waitlist control condition will supervise teachers as-per-usual (i.e., using standard administrative supervision), and will be eligible for the typical array of professional development opportunities that may be offered to them. These supervisors will receive the Reflective Supervision enhancement the following academic year.
