Parental Absence Support Research Project

Partnership/Type: Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA)
Status: Completed Project

Working with DoDEA partners, the Clearinghouse developed eight training modules plus resource materials and a School Resources website [https://schoolresources.militaryfamilies.psu.edu/] focused on assisting DoDEA and public school teachers support the unique needs of military families. In addition, the Clearinghouse developed a socio-emotional and behavioral training for school-based personnel. The socio-emotional and behavioral training, Ready School-Wide Enrichment Training (Ready SET), is a two-day training for a core school personnel (Go Team) that focuses on safe and ready schools, behavior management, socio-emotional learning strategies, functional approaches to problem behaviors, and responding to students experiencing crisis and trauma. The Ready SET model includes a coaching and technical assistance component throughout the academic year to support implementation of Ready SET strategies.
