The Chicago School Readiness Project (CSRP) was a classroom-based intervention designed to support low-income preschoolers' school readiness by targeting their self-regulatory skills. The CSRP was adapted from the Incredible Years training module (Webster-Stratton et al., 2004) and other classroom-based interventions that demonstrated evidence for the modifiability of children's self-regulatory skills (e.g., Bierman et al., 2008; Diamond et al., 2007). Using a bundled, multi-tier approach, the CSRP provided teacher training, coaching, and individual behavior support to promote teachers' effective classroom management and limit burnout. The intervention was tested using a randomized controlled trial across 18 Chicago Head Start centers in 2004-2005 (for Cohort 1) and 2005-2006 (for Cohort 2).

The grant aims involved examining the long-term efficacy of the CSRP preschool intervention, while at the same time evaluating the short-term efficacy of a "light-touch" mindset intervention.

The CSRP was designed as a cluster-randomized trial that paired 18 Head Start centers into 9 blocking group pairs based on similar site characteristics. The research team selected HS centers for recruitment based on three criteria: 1) inclusion of at least two full-day classrooms; 2) receipt of Head Start funding; 3) location in high-poverty, high-crime neighborhoods. 10 sites participated in the 2004 - 2005 school year, forming the first cohort. 8 sites participated in the 2005 - 2006 school year, forming the second cohort. Two classrooms from each of the 18 sites were randomly selected for study participation. One classroom later dropped out of the study due to funding cuts, leading to a total of 35 participating classrooms. Approximately 83% of the children (n= 602) across the study classrooms consented and participated in the original round of data collection during the original Head Start year. During adolescent follow-up years, the research team re-contacted and re-consented the participants and their parents for follow-up waves of data collection. The first follow-up (i.e., 2015 - 2016 academic year) occurred approximately ten years after Cohort 2 completed their PreK year and we call this wave "T10." Data collection for each wave (T10, T11, T12, T13) occurred annually during the spring semester of a given school year.
