Could a 3-week teacher training boost kids' empathy and cut burnout?
NCT ID NCT07759531
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a three-week online program called RAISE, designed to help educators of children aged 3 to 8 foster social-emotional skills like emotion regulation and empathy. About 100 educators will be randomly assigned to take the training or to a waitlist. Researchers will measure changes in children's behavior and educators' own stress, anxiety, and depression to see if the program benefits both.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RAISE, a three-week online training program for educators with videos and group sessions
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a scalable way to support children's emotional health and reduce educator burnout in early education settings.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and tests a program adapted from another country, so results may not generalize widely. Its success depends on educators' engagement and cultural fit.
