Description¶
A modifiable six-tool framework produced for state and district education agencies to examine improvement practices and select evidence-based interventions.
Components¶
Claims¶
- The guide argues that overfocusing on intervention selection alone risks a 'magic bullet' view because average positive outcomes do not guarantee local success [+W] (the argument for tools covering the whole improvement cycle, not selection alone)
Related Products and Programmes¶
- Use the tools as facilitated conversation starters that produce artifacts, not as a checklist exercise: how the guide says the six tools should be used
- ESSA four-tier evidence hierarchy for intervention selection: the evidence tiers the selection tools apply
- Nevada MRI menu of more rigorous interventions for CSI schools: a state intervention menu of the kind the selection tools inform
