Summary

This trial uses 4 "Rs" to create a safe & positive learning environment for all: Recognizing, Responding, Restoring Relationships & Resilience. It aims to build equity stamina & enhance SEL skills.

Who is the study for?

The R-CITY Project is for general education teachers of core subjects like Math, Science, Social Studies, and English in Anne Arundel County Public Schools. It aims to enhance their ability to create a positive learning environment by integrating equity literacy with social and emotional learning (SEL).

What is being tested?

This study compares two educational approaches: 'SEL + Equity', which combines SEL curriculum with equity lessons, versus 'SEL Only', the standard SEL program. The goal is to see if adding equity training improves school environments.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no traditional side effects. However, participants may experience challenges adapting new teaching methods or changes in classroom dynamics.
