Summary

The purpose of this research is to conduct a Goal 3 efficacy study to replicate the positive effects of the preschool version of the First Step intervention- Preschool First Step (PFS)-in improving social/behavioral and academic outcomes to support learning, and to begin to identify the utility of the intervention (i.e., the degree to which it is feasible and practical for implementation in authentic school settings). The primary goal is to replicate the impressive FS outcomes previously reported. The second goal is to mantle the PFS intervention for dissemination at the program-rather than the classroom-level by addressing several aspects of implementation and sustainability in preparation for a Goal 4 (Effectiveness) trial. PFS was developed via a 5-year Head Start University Partnership grant from the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families to adapt FS for Head Start populations.

First Step

First Step is a comprehensive early intervention that is delivered by a behavioral coach who works in collaboration with the classroom teacher and parents. First Step addresses moderate to severe behavior problems of young children and includes both classroom and home components. The program takes about three months from start to finish and requires approximately 60 hours of the coach's time for implementation over this three month period.
