Teacher Implementation of Evidence-Based Interventions
EBIs to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic achievement can include trainings and implementation support at the school, class-wide, and individual student-level, and are often either academic or behavioral in nature. Overall, implementation of both universal (i.e. class-wide) and targeted (i.e. student-level) interventions have demonstrated positive impacts on decreasing disruptive behaviors and increasing student academic achievement (Flower, McKenna, Bunuan, Muething, & Vega, 2014; Vannest, Davis, Davis, Mason, & Burke, 2010).Ross, Romer, and Horner (2012) also found that teachers in schools implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with high fidelity

We also know that disruptive behavior interferes with overall classroom functioning and individual student academic achievement (Atkins, Hoagwood, Kutash, & Seidman, 2010), and effective classroom management can reduce disruptions and improve learning (Reid, Gonzalez, Nordness, Trout, & Epstein, 2004). There is growing evidence that implementing EBIs to promote positive student behaviors may reduce emotional exhaustion and similar constructs among educators (e.g., Ross, Romer, & Horner, 2012). However, much less is known about the driving factors behind this association, and whether the same effect occurs in urban schools, where higher levels of teacher stress and numerous organizational barriers are often reported (Shernoff et al., 2011). Organizational barriers (e.g., school leadership and teacher collegiality) are particularly significant due to their frequent association with teacher stress (Dorman, 2003). The current study advances understanding of stress and satisfaction among teachers in urban schools by examining predictors at three levels (individual, classroom, school-wide) and how training in and use of EBIs may impact them.
Current Study
The present study utilizes data from a large randomized controlled trial, where six elementary schools in urban high poverty communities were randomly assigned to a mental health service model for referred disruptive students (Links to
-Evidence-based practice is not simply about searching for the 'right'answer. There is rarely one 'right' answer to any of the problems that children and their families, or health, education or social workers face. We need to understand the options available and, with children and young people or their carers, choose the course of action most likely to lead to a good outcome. Evidence-based practice involves a number of skills and the development of a process whereby new evidence can be found, assessed and applied to the provision of services to populations and the care of individual children and their families. -Children and families have the right to services based on the best available evidence.
A practice model that can assist schools and school districts in implementing Senate Bill 177 is Response to Intervention (RTI). RTI is a three-tiered model of prevention and support meant to identify students at risk and provide academic and behavioral supports in the classroom (Gustafson, Svensson, & Fälth, 2014). Tier 1 focuses on general behavioral interventions for all students in the classroom (Gustafson et al., 2014). Children who fail to meet a predetermined minimum criterion for RTI will be assigned to Tier 2 intervention (Gustafson et al., 2014, p. 29). Tier 2 involves self-regulation interventions in the form of group sessions (Gustafson et al., 2014, p. 29). It has specific curriculum-based
The value to using specific approaches such as CBT is that they are evidence based interventions that teach the client a better way to think which then leads to making better behaviors and choices. If a social worker uses their own approach as an intervention, then the outcome to the treatment may not be a proper one. Barth et. al (2011), explain that evidence based approaches are not always used by social workers in their interventions even though it is important to do so. On the other hand, I think that using common factors approach gives social workers a chance to be more original in their practice and give flexibility to their interventions. It provides the client with a more unique treatment that was customized for their own needs. Barth
In order for teachers at Resthaven Elementary to improve their student’s scores on the SGLSST teachers must first evaluate their own behavior, tolerance and expectations. They must also create a healthy learning environment and motivate their students to do well. One of the most important instructional factors related to student achievement is the teacher’s behavior. The teachers’ behavior and expectations have a direct impact on how their students behave and perform. The teacher-student interaction must be positive. To promote academic achievement in students, teachers must have high expectations, be encouraging, be patient, provide supportive and corrective feedback and frequently assess their student’s
Stories and illustrative examples of art-based interventions provided evidence-based approaches using art therapy to heal the children of trauma. There are connections between what the art revealed and how it opened up a line of communication for the child and adult. Art benefited the child by providing a medium to express and communicate the traumatic experiences. It also helped a child seek self-development, reduce physical stress, and improve methods of dealing with traumatic memories. Art therapy also benefited the teacher by providing meaningful approaches to address the child, ask questions, build a trusting relationship, and develop further healing approaches.
According to Friedman (2014), the quality and productiveness of clinical care have become most important in many Western countries as the cost of health care continues to rise. Public facilities such as clinics are advice to assess and improve their treatment services as well as tools to target evidence-based practice interventions (Levy et al., 2014). On the other hand, treatment effectiveness, clinical accountability, higher standardization, and cost-effectiveness is another important factor to the administrators, policymakers’, clinicians, and patients alike, complexities comes when controlling what evidence is contemplate acceptable. Some researchers in the field of psychotherapy have suggested that clinicians are not well-enough trained

Theory helps us to understand the rationale behind the strategies and interventions chosen for a particular health issue (National Cancer Institute, 2005). Although theories are presented in the abstract, and have are not based on specific content or topic area, they become useful as they contain practical goals, topics and problems, which lend us “tools to design and evaluate health behavior and health promotion” as they also give us a way to develop interventions based upon our understand of behavior (National Cancer Institute, 2005). As a foundation for development and planning programs using evidence-based interventions in public health theory can assist and help achieve the following:
This is essay is being written to identify and promote change in clinical practice in relation to nursing and
The purpose of this essay is to critically analyse and summarise three selected papers which focus on a structured question, linked to a relevant issue with in my nursing programme. The specific question in focus is “what are the experiences of parents/guardians caring for a child with autism”. Within this essay there will be a description as to how and why the pacific question was chosen. There will also be an explanation of how the correct research papers where allocated. Further on in the essay the three chosen papers will be analysed to determine their trustworthiness. When formulating a question there are two frameworks that can be used these are known as “PICO” and “PIO” these terms will also be discussed in further detail within
The article “A Comparison of School-Based Intervention Teams: Implications for Educational and Legal Reform” by Bahr and colleagues examines the practices of school-based intervention teams. The purpose of this research is to determine what makes school-based intervention teams more effective in their capacity to address the diverse needs of both educators and students. This paper will provide an overall critique of the aforementioned article and the research techniques involved in the research. The author of this article critique seeks to provide an exemplary account of the article’s relevance, methodology, results and findings, and significance.
Change in general is needed for better practice or for better outcomes. This can apply to everyday life or our nursing practice. If one wants to make improvements, then change has to occur. It could be starting a diet and exercise plan or making new friends. Nursing is always changing to stay on top of new theories and research out there.
Nursing is a field of practice that continues to evolve through the use of evidence-based practice. According to Schmidt and Brown, evidence-based practice is conceptualized as making decisions or practicing care by utilizing the best available evidence, considering the preferences of the patients, and using the best clinical judgment (2015). One of the biggest challenge facing the treatment and management of cancer patients is chemotherapy-induced nausea (Escobar et al. 2015). The problem’s morbidity is significant, and it undermines the patient’s quality of life (Escobar et al. 2015). Nurses and other healthcare professionals should utilize research evidence through EBP to improve practice based on the findings of their studies (Schmidt & Brown, 2015). Therefore, one of the major concerns for nurses and healthcare researchers should be to understand the incidence of nausea among the chemotherapy patients with the view to solve the problem.
Evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP) is the incorporation of the best available scientific research, clinical expertise, and the patient’s values and characteristics
I will like to comment on your post as I have brought attention of using a wraparound method to implement interventions/strategies to target the behaviors and modify them in order to help the student become successful. It is important to understand a student with an aggressive, defiant, and/or disruptive behavior, the teacher is not going to eliminating the behavior, as a therapist, I am not able to eliminate a behavior. Regardless, of the effort, the only strategy a teacher is capable of doing is modifying the behavior for the student to understand the reason behind their action. This will take the teacher communicating with the student’s parents to get a background history, researching information of an atypical versus typical student to
