MTDS Terms and Phrases
Research-Based
Research-based strategies and practices are those that have proven effectiveness through scientific educational research. However, a strategy or practice can be research-based, but still not be effective in a local setting. The Every Student Succeed Acts now requires schools to evaluate the level or tier of evidence used to determine the effectiveness of the strategy or practice as well as to determine the effectiveness of the strategy/practice within the local setting. Research-based practices provide teachers with classroom strategies that have been studied and have evidence of their impact on student learning, behavior, etc.. The use of evidence-based strategies/practices, those proven to work in the generalized setting, also implies ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of the research-based practices within the local setting as well to make sure the strategy is working. This is good practice in the classroom too! Not all strategies work for all students. The key is to figure out what works best for each student. Starting with research-based practices and then collecting evidence that the strategy is working helps teachers meet the unique needs of their students. (see glossary for evidence-based)
