Classroom Assessment Scoring system - CLASS- K3
Right before intervention (Baseline) and 5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
A structured, validated observation measure of a classroom's social-emotional environment. Scored from 1 to 7 where 1 is low score (few behaviour markers observed or are rarely observed) and 7 is a high score (many behaviour indicators are frequently observed). (Pianta, La Paro, \& Hamre, 2008).
Coping with Children's Negative Emotions Teacher Version - CCNES-T:
Right before intervention (Baseline) and 5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
A measure of emotion coaching and emotion dismissing behaviors (Fabes et al., 2000). This study uses a short form of the original CCNES (21 questions), which has been modified and translated to Norwegian.
Teachers rate how likely they are to respond to childrens' expressions of negative emotions in various scenarios on a scale of 1 (very unlikely) to 7 (very likely).
Program differentiation
Right before intervention (Baseline) and 5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
Program differentiation is how differnt our intervention is from similar interventions that the school has used recently. This is measured by asing teachers to what degree they have worked with similar teaching strategies in the previous year on a scale of 1 (not at all) to 5 (a lot).
Content Fidelity/Adherance
Right before intervention (Baseline) and 5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
Content Fidelity/Adherance is is how much of the manual and planned content that the facilitators cover for each group session. Facilitators fill in a checklist of core components after each group session to get the proportion of core content completed for each session and in total for the whole intervention.
Dosage
Right before intervention (Baseline) and 5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
Dosage is how much of the intervention each participant received, which will be measured as the proportion of intervention sessions that each teacher participated in.
Reach
Right before intervention (Baseline) and 5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
Reach is measured as the proportion of eligible teachers that have participated in the intervention, and the proportion of eligible schools that have participated.
Teacher Implementation
5 months after intervention (post-intervention)
Teacher feedback on program satisfaction and use of program content will be measured quantitively trhough a questionnaire and qualitatively and through focus group interviews.
The questionnaire will ask about obstacles and ease of attending the intervention and using the learned content afterwards, and what aspects they found useful on a scale of 1 to 7 where 1 is a low score and 7 is a high score. The questionnaire will also ask about what cocepts they have used, and what stopped them from attending using multiple choice with a free text option.
The focus group interviews will be used to get a more detailed assessment of program satisfaction and use of program content
