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

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:
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
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

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.
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 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.
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
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 instruction includes reliable and valuable data obtained from your classroom. When you apply basil tests, unit tests, exit slips, and acuity assessments you need to collect the data from your classroom to organize your classroom groups. You should also use this data to decide who needs AIS or tiered interventions for certain areas. Instructional practices include the previously mentioned assessments. Pretests for all units of instruction can also help you understand what your students already know and who is weak in certain areas. For example, a unit on main idea and details using passages can be difficult for some students. Running records will help to determine what reading level your students are on. From this
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
