In this article, we examined educators' efficacy and burnout within Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-tiered (Ci3T) models of prevention, as implemented in 14 elementary schools in a Midwestern state. Participating schools completed a year-long training series to design their Ci3T plans and were in their second year of implementation as part of a…

Young students at risk for reading difficulties are likely to have long-term reading difficulties if they are not provided with evidence-based, supplemental instruction. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a Tier 2 reading intervention ("Reading RULES! Kindergarten"; RRK) and its promise to improve outcomes for kindergarten…

Complier Average Causal Effect (CACE) analysis, a causal inference approach that accounts for levels of teacher implementation compliance, was used to examine one-year impacts of PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX GBG) and Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) on teacher efficacy and burnout. Teachers in 27 elementary schools were randomized…
