Summary

This pilot study aims to implement and evaluate Teacher-Child Interaction Training - Universal (TCIT-U), an empirically-supported classroom-based intervention aimed at improving child behavior and social-emotional skills through strengthening teacher-child relationships at a preschool that serves children from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds who are at risk for behavioral health difficulties. The main objectives are to (a) examine TCIT-U's effects on teacher behavior, teachers' sense of efficacy, and child behavior problems and social-emotional skills compared to usual care (UC) and (b) explore the feasibility and acceptability of implementing TCIT-U at a diverse urban preschool.

Teacher-Child Interaction Training - Universal

Teacher-Child Interaction Training - Universal (TCIT-U) is an empirically-supported classroom-based intervention designed to strengthen teacher-child relationships, reduce and prevent child behavior problems, and promote social-emotional skills. TCIT-U is based in behavioral and attachment principles and was developed as a modification of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based treatment with well-established support for decreasing disruptive child behaviors and parental stress with children ages two to seven years old. In TCIT-U, teachers of children, preschool through second grade, are taught and coached in skills to manage challenging classroom behaviors and improve the quality of relationships. TCIT-U is delivered to teachers through group didactic training and live individualized coaching.
