Presenter: Catherine Bradshaw, PhD, MEd

This talk will review some of the current strategies for integrating evidence-based programming in schools to reduce behavioral and mental health problems in children and youth in K-12 settings. Models, such as multi-tiered systems of support and social emotional learning will be featured, along with approaches for optimizing implementation fidelity and scaling to reach rural communities. There will also be particular attention to teacher and contextual factors, and issues related to cost, burden, and equity.

This lecture will be presented by Catherine P. Bradshaw, PhD, MEd.
