The purpose of this project is to further refine and evaluate the Treatment Integrity Instrument of Elementary Settings, consisting of teacher- (TIES-T) and observer-report (TIES-O) versions, for use in a quality improvement (QI) process. The QI process is designed to support the implementation and sustainment of universal evidence-based programs (EBPs) for student social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) needs in elementary schools. The researchers will iteratively refine and validate the TI...

The purpose of this project is to develop and test an organization-focused implementation intervention, called Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize Evidence (HELM). HELM aims to improve elementary school principals' use of strategic implementation leadership to support the adoption and high-fidelity use of Tier 1/universal social emotional and behavioral programs and practices that improve student outcomes.

This intervention is intended to strategically impact key individual-level factors that facilitate teachers' implementation of evidence-based practices and programs (EBPPs) to support students' social, emotional, and behavioral skills. In schools, implementati...
