Controlling for principals' individual- and school-level demographic factors, professional support and their district collective efficacy (but not self-efficacy) were significantly and negatively associated with compassion fatigue. The negative association between professional support and compassion fatigue was moderated by both collective and self-efficacy. Professional support had a significantly negative association with compassion fatigue only among principals with both lower collective and self-efficacy beliefs. In addition, female principals reported significantly higher compassion fatigue than their male counterparts. Principals who oversee schools with larger student populations (i.e., 500-1,000 students) reported significantly less compassion fatigue than those who lead smaller schools (i.e., less than 200 students). Findings highlighted the importance of promoting principals' efficacy beliefs and increasing professional support to address their compassion fatigue. Findings also indicated that professional support and efficacy beliefs interact with each other in a compensatory way to influence the principal's compassion fatigue concurrently.

As schools transitioned back to in-person instruction, teachers may have utilized different strategies in the classroom to help support student mental health during this time of crisis. In the present study, we surveyed a sample of 1,449 full-time K-12 teachers during the Spring 2022 semester to examine the relationships between their perceptions of student mental health decline and their use of emotionally supportive and culturally relevant practices. We examined whether these relationships differed depending on whether students spoke a foreign language at home and the racial background of the students in the class. Structural equation modeling results revealed that teachers' perceptions of student mental health decline were associated with greater use of emotionally supportive, but not culturally relevant, strategies. The relationship between teachers' perceptions of student mental health decline and use of both types of strategies were stronger in classrooms with 50% or more students who spoke a foreign language at home, but not as a function of the proportion of Black, Indigenous, and people of color students in class. Results highlight teachers' responsive use of emotional support, and use of both emotionally supportive and culturally relevant strategies to support the mental health of students from non-English-speaking households. However, findings point to the need for teachers to utilize more culturally relevant strategies in times of crisis, particularly in classrooms with more Black, Indigenous, and people of color students.

Extensive studies have investigated the roles of perceived social support (i.e., students' perceived teacher support, family cohesion, and peer support) in shaping students' school engagement. However, inconsistent findings were documented. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism between perceived social support and school engagement lacks investigation. Therefore, informed by the bioecological model and the process model of interpersonal strategies, this longitudinal study examined (a) whether three sources of perceived social support (i.e., teacher support, family cohesion, and peer support) at Time 1 were associated with school engagement at Time 2 both directly and indirectly through emotion regulation (i.e., cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) at Time 2 and (b) whether such pathways differentiated between non-left-behind adolescents and left-behind adolescents (LBA), with left behind being a unique cultural phenomenon in rural China. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the multiple mediation models among 3,043 Chinese rural adolescents (46.86% boys; <i>M</i>_age = 15.82 years, <i>SD</i> = 1.56) in two rural boarding schools in Guizhou and Gansu province. In the overall sample, (a) cognitive reappraisal fully mediated the association between teacher support and school engagement.

Different pathways were revealed in non-left-behind adolescents and left-behind adolescents. (c) Peer support had no direct or indirect effect on school engagement.

The accurate identification of students requiring supplemental reading instruction is critical to provide remediation and decrease the prevalence and likelihood of reading problems in secondary settings and beyond. Nevertheless, research guidance on middle school reading screening is scarce. This study analyzed data from 193 sixth-grade students across 12 classrooms to examine (a) how well various reading screeners predicted proficiency on the year-end state assessment, (b) what combinations of reading screeners were most accurate, (c) the extent to which a brief teacher rating improved classification accuracy, and (d) the agreement rates between the most accurate combinations of screeners. Screeners included the Sight Word Efficiency, oral reading fluency (ORF), maze, and a multiple-choice reading comprehension (MCRC) assessment. Results from logistic regressions and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses suggested that no single screener was appropriate for use and that combinations of two or three screeners assessing different reading skills improved classification accuracy (i.e., ORF + MCRC, ORF + maze + MCRC). Moreover, teacher ratings further improved classification accuracy but its predictive value depended on the combination of screeners. Finally, there was a high agreement regarding which students were identified as needing intervention between these combinations of screeners.

The use of design-comparable effect sizes by the What Works Clearinghouse has potential implications for the experimental literature in special education, which is largely composed of single-case designs that may not meet the assumptions required for statistical analysis. This study examined the compatibility of single-case design studies appearing in 33 special education journals with the design-comparable effect sizes and related assumptions described by the What Works Clearinghouse. Of the 1,425 randomly selected single-case design articles published from 1999 to 2021, 59.88% did not satisfy assumptions related to design, number of participants, or treatment replications.

However, few single-case design studies include results of both visual and quantitative analyses for the same set of data. The present study investigated whether blind review of single-case graphs constructed using up-to-date recommendations by experts in visual analysis would demonstrate adequate interrater agreement and have correspondence with an effect size metric, log response ratio. Eleven experts (i.e., professors in school psychology and special education with visual analysis experience) analyzed 26 multiple-baseline graphs evaluating implementation planning, a fidelity support, on educators' implementation and student outcomes, presented in a standardized format without indication of the variable being measured. Results suggest that there was strong correspondence between raters in their judgments of the presence or absence of treatment effects and meaningfulness of effects (particularly for graphs of adherence and quality).
