Elementary ScenarioIt was a pretty good
composition. I felt proud knowing it was the best one at my school. After I’d read it five times, I was impatient to start reading it out loud. I
followed the book’s directions again. First I read
the composition out loud without trying to sound impressive, just to hear what the words sounded
like.

No Wimpy Interventions
Intervene EARLY and Powerfully
Reduce the GAP Early to Focus on Future Learning Rather than Constantly Catching Up
1. Know What You Are Going to Do BEFORE You Decide Where to Do It!
2. Be Proactive and Problem Solve Interventions for Groups Versus Individuals
3. Don’t Build Additional Intervention Solely on the Backs of General Education Teachers
4. Ensure That Allocated Time is Sufficient to Get the Job Done--For Everyone!
5. Avoid Inventing Interventions and a Bias Against Proven Programs

What Makes a Core Reading Program Evidence-Based?
Stanovich, P. J., & Stanovich, K. E. (2003). How teachers can use scientifically based research to make curricular and instructional decision. Washington, DC: National Institute for Literacy, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, US Department of Education, US Department of Health and Human Services.
§300.35 Scientifically based research. Has the meaning given the term in section
9101(37) of the ESEA. 20 U.S.C. 1411(e)(2)(C)(xi))
Scientifically based research--
(a) Means research that involves the application of rigorous, systematic, and objective procedures to
obtain reliable and valid knowledge relevant to education activities and programs; and
(b) Includes research that--
(1) Employs systematic, empirical methods that draw on observation or experiment;
(2) Involves rigorous data analyses that are adequate to test the stated hypotheses and justify
the general conclusions drawn;
(3) Relies on measurements or observational methods that provide reliable and valid data across
evaluators and observers, across multiple measurements and observations, and across
studies by the same or different investigators;
(4) Is evaluated using experimental or quasi-experimental designs in which individuals, entities,
programs, or activities are assigned to different conditions and with appropriate controls to
evaluate the effects of the condition of interest, with a preference for random-assignment
experiments, or other designs to the extent that those designs contain within-condition or
across-condition controls;
(5) Ensures that experimental studies are presented in sufficient detail and clarity to allow for
replication or, at a minimum, offer the opportunity to build systematically on their findings;
and
(6) Has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal or approved by a panel of independent
experts through a comparably rigorous, objective, and scientific review.

Ensure There is Sufficient Time and a Coordinated Plan of Appropriately
Intensive Intervention, FOR EVERYONE
Strengthen and Coordinate Your Core Language Arts Curriculum Across 3 Tiers
Consider a Common, Scientifically Based Core Language Arts Program (At Least Through Grade 9)
Adjust Intensity and Explicitness of Language Arts Components Curriculum By Needs of Students
Ensure You Have Sufficient Time to Impact Tier 1 and Deliver Tiers 2 and 3 WITHIN the Period/Block
QuickTime™ and aH.264 decompressor

Daily Double Block or Double Period
Language Arts (and Preferably Math)
At least at Grade 6 and potentially higher grades if there are
significant reading (and or mathematics) difficulties in sizable
#s.
Allocates sufficient time to deliver intervention within the
block.
Reduces the need for students to “miss” other classes.
Reduces scheduling pressures.

No More Inventing Interventions For Students At Risk
Avoid Bias Against Proven Programs!
High quality teaching and training materials (print, video, electronic)
There is still the problem of superficial implementation when new materials are in use, and even new practices in evidence, without the deeper understanding required for substantial and sustained implementation.
But you get farther, faster by producing quality materials and establishing a highly interactive infrastructure of pressure and support.
Finally, the materials do not have to be treated as prescriptive. Many judgments can and should be made during implementation as long as they are based on evidence linking teacher practices with student performance
To achieve large scale reform you cannot depend on people’s capacity to bring about substantial change in the
short run, so you need to propel the process with...

Never Use a Bandaid When a Bandage is Needed
At Risk Students or With Significant Discrepancies Usually
Have Multiple and Significant Intervention Needs...Not One

Ensure Things Are Working By Progress Monitoring Using Proven Tools
Progress Monitoring Is Powerful
...effective across student age, treatment duration, frequency of measurement, and special needs status
Major message is for teachers to pay attention to the formative effects of their teaching as it is these attribute of seeking (my emphasis) formative evaluation...that makes for excellence in teaching (p. 181)
