Corrective Reading is a program intended to target alphabetics, fluency, comprehension, and general reading achievement in students.
The study evaluated two professional development (PD) interventions for early reading instruction: an institute series (treatment A) and the institute series plus coaching (treatment B). The institute series consisted of eight days of content-focused institutes and seminars, while the coaching component added a half-time coach in each participating school to work with second-grade teachers. The PD interventions aimed to improve teacher knowledge, instructional practice, and student achievement in reading.

The Good Behaviour Game (GBG) is a universal behaviour management intervention that aims to improve children's classroom behaviour in order to improve attainment. The GBG is based on three key theories: behaviourism (specifically, contingency management), social learning theory, and social constructivist theory. The intervention involves the use of a game format to teach children the rules of the classroom and to encourage positive behaviour. The GBG is typically implemented by class teachers and involves the use of a scoreboard, rewards, and consequences to reinforce positive behaviour. The intervention is designed to be flexible and can be adapted to suit the needs of different classrooms and schools.

The program provides intensive professional development to support classroom implementation, content focused on argument, C3WP instructional resources, and formative assessment. The program is designed to be implemented in a cyclical sequence, with teachers engaging in professional development, implementing instructional resources in their classrooms, using formative assessment tools to assess student progress, and selecting the next instructional resource based on students' needs.
Financial Incentives for Teen Parents is a program that provides financial incentives to encourage teen parents to stay in school. The program has a three-tiered incentive structure: grant increases for proof of enrollment and meeting attendance requirements, grant reductions for failing to attend an initial assessment interview or verify enrollment, and unchanged grants for exceeding allowed absences but not unexcused absences. The program also offers guidance and assistance with child care and transportation for teens complying with the rules.
Check & Connect is a program that targets students at risk of dropping out of school by providing individualized attention and support to help them stay in school and succeed academically. The program has two main components: 'Check' and 'Connect.' The 'Check' component involves continually monitoring student performance and progress, while the 'Connect' component involves program staff giving individualized attention to students, in partnership with other school staff, family members, and community service organizations. The program is implemented by the Check & Connect 'monitor,' who functions as the student's mentor and case worker. Monitors provide basic intervention for all students on their caseload, as well as intensive intervention for students as needed. Basic interventions involve regular structured discussions between the monitor and student about their progress in school and about how to resolve conflicts and cope with challenges. Intensive interventions are tailored to the specific circumstances of students and their families and the available resources of the school and program. The program also focuses on
