What does the term “evidence based practice” mean when used in the context of CommPACT Schools?
Evidence based practice is simply school practices that research has shown are effective addressing a particular challenge in a particular context. Much educational practice has no research to support its use. Additionally, many research based practices do not examine the specific context in which the intervention is effective or the conditions necessary for successful implementation. In CommPACT Schools, practices are research based and have in place all conditions for success.
