Evidence-Based Practices, Strategies, Programs and Intervention Articles and Resources

 

Search Arizona's Database

Arizona Department of Education does not endorse or require the use of any specific evidence-based clearinghouse; districts may use the clearinghouses or stand-alone research reviews conducted by a third party. We also provide a variety of resources to support the identification of evidence based practices and programs to support your school and district transformation.

ESSA-Evidence Based Requirements and Resources Guidance Document 

 

Website: https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/

What does it provide? 

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews the existing research on different programs, products, practices, and policies in education. Our goal is to provide educators with the information they need to make evidence-based decisions.. WWC includes topics such as: literacy, mathematics, science, behavior, children and youth with disabilities, the path to graduation and early childhood.

How does the What Works Clearinghouse evaluate evidence? 

WWC uses a systematic review process to evaluate research studies to determine the quality of the research and the strength of the evidence produced by research. This infographic illustrates the WWC rating process.

 

Website: https://essa.chrr.ohio-state.edu/getting-started 

What does it provide?

A list of research and evidence based strategies that can be sorted by subject, grade band, demographics, evidence level, district typology and resource type within the following categories:

  • Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
  • Community Engagement
  • Human Capital Managment
  • College and Career Readiness

 

Website: https://www.blueprintsprograms.org/

What does it provide? 

Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development provides a registry of evidence-based positive youth development programs designed to promote the health and well-being of children and teens

How does Blueprints evaluate evidence? 

Blueprints programs are rated as Promising, Model, or Model Plus. Promising programs meet the minimum standard of effectiveness. Model and Model Plus programs meet a higher standard and provide greater confidence in the program’s capacity to change behavior and developmental outcomes. See more information in their Criteria Factsheet

Website: https://www.evidenceforessa.org/

What does it provide? 

Evidence for ESSA provides information on programs and practices that meet each of the top three ESSA evidence standards in a given subject and grade level. The site includes reading programs and math programs in grades K-12

How does Evidence for ESSA evaluate evidence? 

The website uses the four levels of evidence recognized by the Every Student Succeeds Act:

  • Strong evidence: At least one well-designed and well-implemented experimental (i.e., randomized) study.
  • Moderate evidence: At least one well-designed and well-implemented quasi-experimental (i.e., matched) study.
  • Promising evidence: At least one well-designed and well-implemented correlational study with statistical controls for selection bias.
  • Demonstrates a rationale based on high-quality research findings or positive evaluation that such activity, strategy or intervention is likely to improve student outcomes or other relevant outcomes.
