This session will focus on three examples of programs that have been adapted in various ways to optimize fit with the school and classroom setting and promote scalability:
- work on the Coping Power program, which has been adapted for middle, high school, and rural school settings,
- the Double Check student engagement and culturally responsive practices program, and
- a model which integrates SEL and equity lessons for students.
Research related to coaching and implementation factors will be highlighted.
