| Abstract: The focus on implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) creates both opportunities and challenges for those committed to school improvement. This session will focus on the themes that cut across EBP efforts in reading, math and behavior support. Participants will leave with a model for guiding future research, future implementation efforts, and future evaluation models that target the implementation of evidence-based practices in schools. |
