Summary

The PReventing Aggression In Schools Everyday (PRAISE) Program has evidence of impact when run by research staff. PRAISE was adapted using community-based participatory research to a coaching model whereby school-staff are trained to facilitate the program and receive ongoing coaching from research staff. The overall objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of the adapted PRAISE program when facilitated by in-school staff.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Universal, classroom-based, Bullying and Aggression Prevention Program

PRAISE is a universal, classroom-based aggression and bullying prevention program that addresses all forms (physical, verbal, relational, cyber), with a strong focus on the relational and reactive behaviors. All emotional and social skills taught focus on applying and practicing the skills within peer relationships. This program has gone through iterative development and adaptations using a community-based participatory approach whereby the elementary students and staff were active partners with researchers in refining the program. Specific attention was paid to ensuring that the program is feasible for schools to implement and sustain while also being relevant and relatable for students from a variety of backgrounds and school communities (e.g., under-resourced, higher levels of community violence). This updated PRAISE includes \~14 sessions (amounts can vary by grade) and training and coaching for school-based facilitators of the program.
