Research Summary

A literature review of studies examining the efficacy of Love and Logic's teacher training curriculum revealed three unpublished doctoral dissertations and a research report published by Love and Logic. Generally, findings from these studies found the teacher training curriculum to positively impact student behavior, student-teacher relationships, and teacher's perceptions of their classroom management strategies. One peer-reviewed research article was found. Consequently, there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of this program at this time.
