EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH PRACTICES

The Fall River School District will use evidence-based research practices when implementing an intervention. The intervention must meet the following criteria:

1. The programs or teaching approaches themselves were directly studied

2. Research was of high quality

3. Program demonstrated significantly better outcomes than a comparison condition

4. More than one study found similar results

5. Programs and teaching approaches have characteristics that are known to be effective for struggling learners.

6. These characteristics are derived from converging evidence from multiple scientific studies.
