Who is the study for?

This trial is for educators (administrators, teachers, instructional assistants, school counselors) in middle schools who have regular contact with students. Participants will be from 60 different schools across six states and must consent to provide data through annual surveys at three time points over two years.

What is being tested?

The Inclusive Skill-building Learning Approach (ISLA) is being tested for its effectiveness in reducing exclusionary discipline practices in schools, improving teacher-student interactions, enhancing student outcomes, and decreasing substance misuse among students.

What are the potential side effects?

Since ISLA is an educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, it does not have side effects like a drug would. However, there may be unintended consequences such as increased workload or stress among educators implementing the new approach.
