Appendix A. The Incredible Years: Parent, Child and Teacher Training Series

The Incredible Years  Award winning “exemplary best practices” program with demonstrated effectiveness. [Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration]  Comprehensive—targets home, school and child.  Designed to prevent, reduce and treat conduct problems and to increase children’s social competence.  Parent skills training uses group discussion, videotape modeling, and homework exercises.  Child series (Dina Dinosaur) uses puppets and videotapes to teach social skills, conflict management, and successful classroom behavior.

Research indicates that children’s emotional, social and behavioral adjustment is as important for school success as cognitive and academic preparation.  Child program promotes children’s cognitive problem- solving strategies, increases use of pro-social skills and reduces conduct problems at home and school.  Parent program helps strengthen parenting skills, reduces parenting stress and increases parent’s involvement in school activities.  Teacher program strengthens classroom management skills, reduces classroom aggression and improves teachers’ ability to focus on student’s social, emotional and academic competence. The Incredible Years Outcomes

CMHRC commitment to excellence, demonstrated through:  Training and certification of facilitators, dedicated FT coordinator for Incredible Years programming.  Purchase of all required curriculum and program materials.  Use of treatment fidelity groups, peer review, videotape feedback.  Continued use of ongoing training and technical support from the Incredible Years developers  Ongoing evaluation of parent and child groups. Incredible Years Adherence to Model Fidelity

1.Implement a comprehensive model that employs evidence-based multiple strategies for providing supportive environments and that accommodates ethnic, cultural and economic diversity. 2.Expand the target population to universal and earlier prevention—reaching children with certain family characteristics that put them at particular risk for developing conduct problems, delinquency and substance abuse. 3.Strengthen partnerships with local agencies that serve at-risk populations and, with the community at large, promoting a holistic view of health that includes physical and mental well-being. CMHRC Goals for Incredible Years

The Incredible Years and Ben Franklin School  Partnership sponsored through a two-year grant from the Rochester Area Foundation First Steps Initiative  Implements the comprehensive model-teacher, child and parent.  First year, Franklin Kindergarten teachers and para- professionals receive extensive training and mentoring from certified Incredible Years trainers.  Second year, Franklin Kindergarten teachers implement independently with guidance and support from CMHRC IY staff.  Second year, Franklin 1 st Grade teachers will receive comprehensive training and mentoring from CMHRC IY staff (like Kindergarten teachers this year).

Why offer Dina Dinosaur in kindergarten classes at Ben Franklin school?  Social and emotional competencies are important predictors of school readiness and academic success.  Prevalence of aggressive behavior in early childhood 10% and may be as high as 25% for socio-economically deprived children.  Dina program cost effectively reaches high number of at-risk youth early in life when behavior is most malleable and before severe behavior problems arise. Incredible Years Dina Dinosaur Prevention

Goals for program at Ben Franklin [Kindergarten]:  Prevent early behavior problems from escalating.  Integrate children into peer group –classroom as “family”.  Improve social competence for entire class, provide common vocabulary and problem solving steps to use in everyday conflict.  Magnify dosage of IY intervention through teacher reinforcement of key concepts throughout the school day. Incredible Years Dina Dinosaur Prevention

Implementation at Ben Franklin during School Year :  Offered 2 times a 6-day cycle in 5 kindergarten classrooms  Lessons over entire school year, seven units in sequential order [rules/behavior, feelings, problem solving, anger management, peer relations etc.]  Led by Children’s Mental Health Incredible Years staff with Ben Franklin teachers participating in planning and delivery of lessons Incredible Years Dina Dinosaur Prevention - Children

Incredible Years Teacher Training at Ben Franklin Teacher training at Ben Franklin during School Year included:  Five full day interactive classroom management workshops offered throughout the school year, and 3 days of training from Seattle IY trainer on Dina Dinosaur curriculum.  Sessions on promoting pro-social behavior and school readiness, reducing non-cooperation and aggressive behaviors, and ways to collaborate with parents to support school involvement and school- home consistency.  Teachers implementing a classroom action plan with ongoing support from CMH IY staff.

Incredible Years Parent Training at Ben Franklin Parent training at Ben Franklin during School Year included:  A 12-week parent group with two CMH IY facilitators meeting once a week. Child care, supper and transportation offered to program participants.  Used a collaborative process to promote positive parent-child relationships through play, praise and attention.  Worked on effective limit-setting, use of incentives, building social competence and handling misbehavior.  All Kindergarten parents received detailed handouts on the Dina Dinosaur curriculum throughout the year and received tips on how to use the Dina techniques at home.

Evaluation of Incredible Years at Ben Franklin Evaluation on all three components of the model, data collection includes:  Classroom Environment Scale [pre/post]  Social Competence Scale on Student Behavior [pre/post]  Teacher Classroom Strategies [pre/post]  Teacher Workshop Satisfaction Surveys  Parent Dina Dinosaur Satisfaction Surveys  Parent Stress Index [parent group, pre/post]  Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory [parent group, pre/post]  Parent Group Satisfaction Surveys

Classroom Environment Scale Teachers filled out the scale in October 2007 and again in May Instructions were to: Think about the general atmosphere of your classroom during the last month. Use the scale below where ‘10’ stands for always, ‘0’ stands for never and ‘5’ stands for half the time. 0.… ….3.…4….5.…6….7.…8.…9….10 Rarely Sometimes Almost always

Classroom Environment Scale October 2007 versus May 2008 Rarely Some- times Almost Always Teachers rate their classrooms on scale of 1 through 10 for behaviors exhibited in past month (N=8 Classrooms) Q1. Students follow classroom rules Q2. Students work cooperatively (helping sharing, teamwork). Q3. Students attempt to problem solve when conflicts arise (talk about problem, discuss feelings, suggest solutions). Q4. Students manage anger (uses words not fists, takes deep breaths, remains calm). p≤.002 p≤.001 p≤.000 p≤001 Statistically significant = Source: Classroom Environment Scale database

Parent Feedback Survey Dinosaur School Parents were asked to read a description of the Dinosaur School (puppets named Dina and Wally and the lessons being taught) They were then asked to think about the last three months and rate the following questions on a 4-point scale “very often”, “somewhat often”, “once in awhile”, “not at all”. 1.How often does your child talk about the things he or she is learning in Dinosaur School? 2. How often have you noticed your child doing the following: a.Talks about his/her feelings b.Identifies / recognizes when there is a problem c.Tries to solve problems when they come up (uses solutions/ideas from Dinosaur School) d.Shares or helps friends/siblings

Tools Used to Measure Outcome: 1. Pre and Post Parenting Stress Index [PSI] Paper/pencil assessment parent fills out to assess parent- child relationship (three subscales and total stress score) 2. Pre and Post Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory [ECBI] Paper/pencil behavioral rating scale parent fills out to measure their perception of child conduct problems and the extent to which it is a problem for the parent. Parent BASIC Group Weekly parent group using Incredible Years curriculum to strengthen parenting skills and reduce stress. Nine parents completed [3 fathers, 4 mothers, 1 stepparent, 1 grandparent]

Significant Drop in Percentage of Parents at a “Clinical Level” of Parental Stress (TSS*) Average stress level for the Ben Franklin parent group [beginning and end] is less than for the parent “treatment groups” held at the CMHRC. Average Entry Score – 81.2 (SD=8) Average Exit Score (SD=13) t{5}=6.5, significant at p<.001 *Total Stress Score (TSS) is an indication of the stress level experienced within the role as parent.

Parent Satisfaction with BASIC Parent Program What did you see as the main benefit of the Incredible Years program?  I have become so much better with my children in all the ways that a father should be. I feel this will help me stay that #1 dad that I’ve always wanted. Thank you very much.  Positive talk was the most beneficial for me. Also the skills taught – how and when to ignore, using calming down techniques.  How easy it is to make small changes and have such wonderful results. When the program is broken down the way it was, everything makes so much sense.  Learning skills to improve communication, bringing parents into the children’s setting really helped my kids. They have been so proud and excited to have me here every Monday.  Consistency and reinforcing positive/expected behaviors.
