A School-Family Partnership: Addressing Multiple Risk Factors to Improve School Readiness and Prevent Conduct Problems in Young Children 

Summary research on the effectiveness of these three programs for reducing risk factors and strengthening protective factors associated with children’s social emotional development and school success. 

Review of the Incredible Years (IY) Parent, Teacher and Child Training Curricula and summarize research on the effectiveness of these three programs for reducing risk factors and strengthening protective factors associated with children’s social emotional development and school success. The chapter will include a focus on the role of home-school partnerships in preventing and treating children’s behavior problems and improving their school readiness as well as practical tips for engaging schools in the prevention and intervention process.
