NCT ID NCT05321342
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program called the Bullying Classroom Check-Up (BCCU) that coaches 3rd-5th grade teachers to better detect and handle bullying. Researchers worked with 34 teachers in urban schools to see if the coaching reduces aggressive behavior and improves school climate. The goal is to learn whether this approach can make schools safer and more supportive for students.
