With generous donation from the Simon K Y Lee Children’s Fund, the 4-year project “3Es: Early Prevention, Early Identification and Early Intervention: A School-based Support Model of Social-emotional Development for Kindergarten Children” (3Es) was launched in 2015. It aims to develop a tiered intervention model of the response to intervention (RTI). For “Tier 1”, all K2 and K3 children from the participating kindergartens will receive training with the curriculum in order to enhance their social-emotional competency (early prevention). A screening tool will be designed and validated for teachers to identify children who do not respond well in Tier 1 (early identification). Children who are at risk of socio-emotional difficulties will enter “Tier 1+” and receive intensive and tailored training in small group settings (early intervention). Additionally, teachers and parents will be invited to attend seminars and workshops to enhance their related knowledge and skills.
