“…This involvement of numerous senior staff and class teachers was a positive and important consequence of the model of nesting the coping program in both whole school and whole class development, rather than it being a silo withdrawal class only for students who had learning disabilities. These findings support that of other researchers regarding the time and leadership capacity that are needed (Devaney et al, 2006;Fullan, 2006;Greenberg, Feinberg, & Gomez, 2005) and the importance of considering the process of implementation when undertaking initiatives in the complex school environment (Fullan, 2006;Greenberg, 2004;Oakley et al, 2003;Weist & Murray, 2007;Weisz et al, 2005). Furthermore, the model of whole school learning disabilities professional development and the whole class coping program allowed the learning disabilities coping program to be nested in an environment where the students who had learning disabilities had a greater likelihood of experiencing success when they use their newly learned coping strategies.…”

“…This approach is similar to other community prevention approaches that have utilized coalitions and partnerships as vehicles for community action in reducing adolescent substance use (e.g. see Aguirre-Molina and Gorman, 1996;Arthur et al, 2003;Greenberg et al, 2005).…”

“…The system has supported 12 communities to adopt and implement 13 different tested, effective prevention programs with a high degree of fidelity. While the provision of training, technical assistance, and program monitoring has been associated with high-quality delivery of prevention programs in prior studies (Dumas et al 2001;Fagan and Mihalic 2003;Fixsen et al 2005;Gottfredson and Gottfredson 2002;Greenberg et al 2005;Henggeler et al 1997), the CTC monitoring system offers a specific methodology for helping to bridge the gap between science and practice. It translates the rigorous program monitoring strategies that characterize many research trials (and as described in the Prevention Synthesis and Translation System) into tools and procedures that can be utilized by local community organizations to improve their Prevention Delivery Systems.…”

“…Prior research emphasizes the importance of training in increasing implementers' understanding and support of prevention programs, commitment to implementing the programs with integrity, and likelihood of sustainability (Ennett et al 2003;Fixsen et al 2005;Gottfredson and Gottfredson 2002;Greenberg et al 2005;Kealey et al 2000;Taggart et al 1990). Communities were responsible for arranging trainings for all program implementers from the program developers and/or their certified trainers.…”
