What this trial studies
This trial tests the Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize Evidence (HELM) strategy to improve the implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in elementary schools. It addresses the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges faced by students, which have worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on school districts in Washington State, the study aims to enhance the fidelity and effectiveness of PBIS implementation across participating schools. The trial involves collaboration with educators to ensure that evidence-based practices are effectively integrated into the school environment.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are school districts in Washington State committed to implementing PBIS in their elementary schools, along with educators working in those schools.
Not a fit: Schools that have previously been exposed to the HELM strategy will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve student outcomes by effectively addressing social, emotional, and behavioral issues in elementary schools.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar implementation strategies for evidence-based practices in educational settings.
