First Step Coach

This app is designed to train school staff to administer the First Step Next intervention. First Step Next is an early intervention program designed to divert young children with challenging behaviors from a path leading to adjustment problems; school failure and dropout; rejection by teachers, peers, and ultimately, caregivers; juvenile delinquency in adolescence; and in some cases, gang membership and interpersonal violence. First Step Next is a collaborative home and school intervention program for preschool – third grade that recruits parents as partners with the school in teaching the at-risk child a behavior pattern contributing to school success and the development of friendships. In this new online training program, users will go through 4 online modules and video record a short roleplay of working with the focus student.
