Evidence-Based Resources
The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development supports school district efforts to invest in proven strategies that have an evidence base for effectiveness toward improving outcomes for children in our schools.
The term evidence-based, when used with respect to a State, local educational agency, or school activity, means an activity, strategy, or intervention that either –
- demonstrated a statistically significant effect on improving student outcomes or other relevant outcomes –
-
strong evidence from at least one well-designed and well-implemented experimental study; OR
-
moderate evidence from at least one well-designed and well-implemented quasi-experimental study; OR
-
promising evidence from at least one well-designed and well-implemented correlational study with statistical controls for selection bias;
OR
-
-
demonstrates a rationale based on high-quality research findings or positive evaluation (such as the National Reading Panel) that such activity, strategy, or intervention is likely to improve student outcomes or other relevant outcomes; AND includes ongoing efforts to examine the effects of such activity, strategy, or intervention.
