Evidence-Based Practices
To ensure equitable outcomes, educational practices must be evidence based – those known and shown to be effective.
Improving learner outcomes by implementing evidence-based practices
Teams use evidence-based practices aligned with the school’s or district’s population and values. When implemented with fidelity (used as intended), schools and districts using evidence-based practices are more likely to achieve positive outcomes found in research.
Using evidence-based programs, practices, and procedures across the system
Evidence-based practices apply across all key system features.
For example, schools and districts:
- collaboratively allocating resources, develop policies, and provide coaching and training to staff on how to use the practices
- develop learners’ academic, behavioral, emotional, and social knowledge, skills, and habits through agreed upon instructional frameworks
- incorporate and use evidence-based, culturally-responsive classroom management, curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices
- strategically use data and family and community engagement to select evidence-based programs, practices, and procedures that ensure equitable access, opportunities, and outcomes for every learner
Routinely, schools and districts use accountability measures, structures, and assessment tools to ensure evidence-based practices are implemented with fidelity.
They use these tools to:
- Adjust support as needed, and
- evaluate the extent to which they are improving outcomes for learners.
How do you know your system has evidence-based practices in place?
Are your evidence-based practices:
- applied across all key system features
- culturally responsive
- implemented as designed and intended
- selected collaboratively through use of local data
- supported through policy, resource allocation, training and coaching, and accountability measures and structures
