Summary

Many universal, evidence-based prevention practices (EBPPs) have been developed to prevent SEB problems, typically in elementary schools, but progress toward widespread implementation has been slow and few efforts have been made to develop and test interventions to enhance EBPP implementation in schools. Schools leaders (e.g., principals) are key to decision making and implementation of EBPPs, and their leadership has been shown to be consistently linked to student outcomes through their intentional efforts to support teacher adoption and use of innovative programs. Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize (HELM) Evidence is a pragmatic, multifaceted, organizationally-focused implementation strategy targeting the implementation leadership and implementation climate of school buildings (through principals) to enhance the adoption and delivery of EBPPs in elementary schools. This pilot study, part of the larger HELM project to adapt and test the strategy based on an existing leadership intervention, Leadership and Organizational Change for Implementation (LOCI), will be implemented in the context of Positive Greetings at the Door (PGD), a universal school-based EBPP previously demonstrated to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic engagement.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HELM

HELM is a 9-month, data-driven organizational and leadership implementation strategy that entails eight core components: 1) Assessment and Feedback. 2) Initial Training. 3) Leadership Development Plan. 4) Individual Coaching. 5) Group Coaching. 6) Organizational Strategy Development. 7) Professional Learning Collaboratives. 8) Graduation.

BEHAVIORAL

Implementation Attention Control (IAC)

Schools assigned to the IAC condition received an online, self-paced, independent studies program broadly focused on leadership and management. The program did not specifically discuss implementation leadership or climate. The program included four content modules hosted on a web-based learning portal: 1) Motivating and Engaging Employees, 2) Authentic Leadership, 3) Managing Diverse Teams, and 4) Fostering an Idea Culture. Each module consisted of one content-specific 60-minute webinar.
