Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: FACTORIAL
Intervention model description: All schools that participate in the study will receive Remaking Recess. Additionally, half of the schools will be randomized to receive TEAM, an additional implementation support intervention.
Primary purpose: HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Brief summary: The purpose of the proposed three-site study is to test whether an educator-level implementation strategy, coaching, with or without a school-level implementation strategy, school-based teams, will maximize paraeducators' use (fidelity and sustainment) of an evidence-based social engagement intervention, Remaking Recess (RR). RR aims to improve peer related social skills for autistic students and their non-autistic peers who are socially isolated or peripheral and need support during recess.
