Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators' overall objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of the Bullying Classroom Check-Up (BCCU) on elementary aged students' aggressive and bullying behaviors, teacher practices, and student and teacher relationships. The investigators' principal hypothesis is that the BCCU will improve students' aggression and bullying behaviors and their perceptions of the school climate and relationships in the building as well as teacher practices.


Description:

Aim 1: Examine the Efficacy of the Bullying Classroom Check-Up (BCCU) at improving child aggressive and bullying behaviors For this aim, the study team will examine student self-report measures and classroom observational data at post-test (end of year 1) and in the follow-up assessment (winter of following school year). The study team will focus on their own aggression and bullying behavior as well as their perceptions of the general bullying climate, rating of safety, and positive bystander behaviors (i.e., how students respond to bullying when they witness it). The study team hypothesize that children in schools randomized to the BCCU condition will be less likely to engage in aggression and bullying, will rate the general bullying climate (i.e., perceptions that bullying is a problem and that adults/students do enough to stop bullying) and sense of safety more positively, and engage in more positive bystander behaviors than children in schools randomized to the control condition. Aim 2: Examine the efficacy of the BCCU at improving teacher practices and relationships For this aim, the study team will examine teacher and aggregated student self-report measures and classroom observational data at post-test (end of year 1) and in the follow-up assessment (winter of following school year). The study team will focus on teacher self-reported, observed, and student-reported classroom practices as well as perceptions from teachers and students about relationships within the school. The investigators' hypotheses are that teachers in the BCCU condition will engage in more preventive classroom management and intervention strategies (e.g., modeling social emotional competencies such as empathy) in response to bullying than teachers in the control condition, and that teacher-student and student-student relationships will be more positive in classrooms in the BCCU condition than in the control condition. Exploratory Aim 3: Explore the moderating role of fidelity in the main outcomes of interest. Explore the mediating role of teacher self-efficacy and behavior management practices on distal outcomes. For this exploratory aim, the study team will examine how fidelity indicators (e.g., dosage, coach adherence, as reported by coaches) moderates intermediate teacher outcomes (e.g., teacher practices) within the main effect models. The study team will also examine how changes in teacher intermediate outcomes (e.g., teacher efficacy and practices) relate to the follow-up year's classroom climate (e.g., relationships) as reported by students (aggregated) and teachers in mediation models.

Intervention

Behavioral:
Bullying Classroom Check-Up (BCCU)
BCCU professional development (PD) modules will be provided to all staff in intervention schools as part of their standard, school-approved professional development practices to provide knowledge and awareness for bullying identification, prevention, and intervention. In addition, consented 3rd-5th grade teachers will participate in the BCCU intervention. The coaching follows the original Classroom Check-Up model (Reinke, Herman, & Sprick, 2011), embedding 5 steps (i.e., assessment of the classroom, feedback to teacher, goal setting and plan, ongoing coaching and guided practice in the TeachLivE© mixed-reality simulator [developed at the University of Central Florida [UCF]; Dieker, Hynes, Hughes, & Smith, 2008], and self-monitoring) and utilizing motivational interviewing (Miller & Rollnick, 2012) to empower teacher practice change.
