Empowering Teachers with Low-Intensity Strategies to Support Instruction II

The Principal Investigator (PI) will conduct a program of research for improving outcomes for students with emotional disturbance (ED) while developing skills related to this research, including establishing partnerships with schools and districts, analyzing data using multi-level modeling and other advanced statistical techniques, and writing competitive grant proposals. The PI intends to develop a training model for teachers to implement a classroom-based, low-intensity strategy called Instructional Choice. Unlike other training models, the newly developed model will require little support from training providers. It is intended to improve academic and behavior outcomes for students with and at risk for ED.
