Are You Interested in Having Your Teachers Trained in the Well-Managed Schools Classroom Management Approach?

Researchers at Iowa State University are conducting a study to evaluate the Well-Managed Schools (WMS) classroom management approach. WMS is a set of strategies that can be used by teachers during day-to-day classroom instruction, focusing on social skills and dealing with inappropriate behaviors. WMS can be implemented as a stand-alone approach or be integrated within a school-wide MTSS-B/PBIS model. The research is being funded by a five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Studies.

The grant pays all costs for participating teachers, including training, follow-up coaching and stipends. Participating schools will also receive $50 per participating teacher each year of the study and reimbursement for substitute costs, if needed. Researchers are now contacting schools about participation for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years, with the goal of adding 150 additional classrooms each year. The Well-Managed Schools Workshop and Well-Managed Schools Project Overview provide more detail on the research study and the Well-Managed Schools training.
