TEAM is an adaptation of an evidence-based organization skills training intervention, the Challenging Horizons Program (<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2015-48449-001\">Evans et al., 2016<\/a>), that pairs older students with younger students to help them learn strategies for organizing school materials, setting academic goals, and developing supportive relationships. Students also learn problem-solving skills and opportunities to become involved in school from school staff.<\/p>\n<p>TEAM has been studied in one small pilot trial (<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12310-024-09697-z\">Capps et al., 2024<\/a>).
