Coaches develop and use strategies to gain access to teachers' classrooms to support teacher learning and instructional improvement. These strategies respond to the specific conditions in which coaches work, including organizational structures and interpersonal factors that can either facilitate or impede access. In this interview study of 28…

van Dijk, Wilhelmina; Lane, Holly B.; Gage, Nicholas A. – Elementary School Journal, 2023
Implementation fidelity is often thought of as a necessary condition to achieve internal validity and as having a relation to student outcomes. This relation is increasingly modeled; we reviewed reading intervention studies for students in pre-K-12 in which measures of implementation fidelity were included in final data analysis. A systematic…

Neugebauer, Sabina Rak; Sandilos, Lia; DiPerna, James; Hunter, Leah; Hart, Susan Crandall; Ellis, Emmaline – Elementary School Journal, 2023
Schools are increasingly adopting universal social-emotional learning (SEL) programs to support students' prosocial development and academic success. When adopted across contexts and student populations, SEL interventions can be implemented in different ways, particularly under typical classroom conditions that are not part of research efficacy…

Lee, Ahhyun; Gage, Nicholas A.; McLeskey, James; Huggins-Manley, Anne Corinne – Elementary School Journal, 2021
School-wide positive behavior interventions and supports (SWPBIS) have been widely implemented in more than 25,000 schools. Although extant literature provides experimental evidence supporting the positive impacts of SWPBIS on decreased office discipline referrals and suspensions, those effects for diverse students have not been fully…

Lewis, Kendra M.; Holloway, Stefanie D.; Bavarian, Niloofar; Silverthorn, Naida; DuBois, David L.; Flay, Brian R.; Siebert, Carl F. – Elementary School Journal, 2021
The national conversation about the importance of social-emotional competencies, such as prosocial behaviors, responsible decision-making, and problem-solving, has increased greatly in the last 2 decades. There is, however, less robust evidence for social and emotional learning programs' impact on social and emotional outcomes when implemented in…

Neuman, Susan B.; Samudra, Preeti; Danielson, Katie – Elementary School Journal, 2021
This study examines the effectiveness of scaling up a vocabulary intervention, pre-K-first grade, using a structured adaptation of the World of Words that allowed teachers some autonomy over its implementation. The purpose was to determine whether such an adaptation could maintain fidelity and promote positive child outcomes. Classrooms (pre-K…

Clarke, Ben; Doabler, Christian T.; Turtura, Jessica; Smolkowski, Keith; Kosty, Derek B.; Sutherland, Marah; Kurtz-Nelson, Evangeline; Fien, Hank; Baker, Scott K. – Elementary School Journal, 2020
This study examined whether the efficacy of ROOTS, a 50-lesson mathematics intervention program focused on whole number concepts for at-risk kindergarten students, differed by group size and whether initial skill moderated intervention effects by group size. The study utilized a randomized block design with at-risk students (n = 1,251) within…

Goodrich, J. Marc; Hebert, Michael; Savaiano, Mackenzie; Andress, Tim T. – Elementary School Journal, 2020
Research indicates that sentence-combining instruction is effective for improving writing outcomes; however, no studies to date have examined the effects of sentence-combining instruction on the writing skills of Spanish-speaking language-minority (LM) students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of explicit…

Spichtig, Alexandra N.; Gehsmann, Kristin M.; Pascoe, Jeffrey P.; Ferrara, John D. – Elementary School Journal, 2019
This randomized controlled trial examined the impact of adaptive, web-based, scaffolded silent reading instruction on 426 fourth- and fifth-grade students in an urban US school district. Reading proficiency was evaluated in the fall and spring using the Group Reading Assessment Diagnostic Evaluation (GRADE) and an eye movement recording system…

Troyer, Margaret – Elementary School Journal, 2019
Curriculum designers often assume that teachers implement curricula as written, yet research shows that all teachers adapt curricula. Adaptation is especially important in the context of sustained curriculum implementation, as some level of adaptation may be necessary for teachers to feel ownership over a program. However, whereas some adaptations…

Sutherland, Kevin S.; McLeod, Bryce D.; Granger, Kristen; Nemer, Shannon L.; Kunemund, Rachel L.; Conroy, Maureen A.; Johnson, Adrienne; Miles, Chimere – Elementary School Journal, 2019
Students' early school experiences have a significant and long-term effect on key academic and social/behavioral outcomes. Evidence-based programs that both increase the quantity and quality of positive teacher-student interactions and decrease the frequency of negative teacher-student interactions may be critical for changing negative patterns…

The purpose of the study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to demonstrate efficacy of the Class-wide Function-Related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) program. The study was designed to replicate an initial RCT conducted by the CW-FIT developers in 1 site, with 2 additional research groups not involved in its development. The study was…
