Purpose

The primary goal of this training program was to prepare researchers to conduct investigations that evaluate approaches designed to support student learning and achievement via the reduction of social and behavioral problems. 

Project Activities

The fellows in this program participated as students in advanced seminars on methodological techniques, as researchers in large-scale evaluation projects, and as collaborators in the development of grant proposals. The program invited fellows to participate in grants focused on evaluating consultation-based interventions for students with social and behavioral concerns that interfere with learning and development. Consultation-based interventions capitalize on the expertise of behavioral consultants who help school staff specify students' social and behavioral difficulties, select and implement behavioral strategies, and evaluate student outcomes.

Key outcomes

As of 2020, Dr. Hawley was a research assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dr. Kim was a lecturer at Emory University, Dr. Rispoli was an assistant professor at Michigan State University, and Dr. Wheeler was a research scientist at Dynamic Measurement Group.
