Abstract
INSIGHTS is a temperament-based emotional and behavioral skills intervention that has been found in a previous Institute of Education Sciences efficacy trial to reduce disruptive behavior, improve attention skills, and improve reading and math achievement of economically disadvantaged children.
This replication study will assess the usability, fidelity and feasibility of the technology-enhanced programs, and will compare student, teacher and parent outcomes of the New INSIGHTS to data collected in prior efficacy trials. It expands the program to include training for all students, teachers and parents.
