In collaboration with Dr. Kevin Sutherland (School of Education, VCU), we ran a four-year IES-funded project designed to develop observational and teacher-report measures to assess treatment integrity of teacher-delivered interventions for preschool children at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders. We developed and then used the measures in preschool classrooms throughout the greater Richmond area.
