Philosophy
Our time with students is limited and valuable. Every minute we spend with kids should be spent using the practices that are most likely to be successful. How do we know what's most likely to be successful? We look at the evidence.
What is Evidence-based?Evidence-based practices demonstrate a strong, positive relationship between the practice and the improved outcomes through multiple, high quality studies.
High quality studies: Observe measurable cause & effect outcomes Have been replicated by others Are peer-reviewed by experts in the field. |
