Assignment task: Evidence-Based Practices for Students with Disabilities
Directions:
For this assignment, you are to write a 1½ page, single-spaced paper addressing two issues involving evidence-based practices.
1. Distinguish between a promising practice, an evidence-based review, and an evidence based practice. For this paper, evidence-based practice is an umbrella term that includes evidence-based programs and evidence-based strategies. An evidence-based program involves a protocol for teachers to follow and materials to use. In some instances, relevant assessments are included. Notably, the whole program has been researched and shown to be effective. An evidence-based strategy is a stand-alone instructional procedure that effectively teaches a targeted skill. Constant time delay is one such strategy for students with disabilities.
2. Discuss a minimum of three topics regarding evidence-based practices that you believe are highly relevant to special education teachers and general education teachers who present instruction to students with individualized education programs (IEPs). Need Online Assistance?
Work through the content in the References section below to acquire the necessary knowledge to write this paper.
In addition to the directions you are currently reading, refer to the Microsoft Word template you must use to write your paper. I have placed this template in the assignment directions presented in the aforementioned Canvas modules. The template contains all of the proper formatting, which is as follows:
1. Your name, the paper's title, and page number are to be listed in the header.
2. Use 1" top, bottom, left, and right margins.
3. Use the following font: 12-point Times New Roman. Use plain text for the content in the body of the paper and bold text for the headings.
4. Single space throughout the entire body of the document, and indent the first line of each paragraph.
5. Place the following two headings flush left and in bold text: (a) Promising Practices, an Evidence-Based Review, and Evidence-Based Practices; and (b) Three Topics Relevant to Special/General Education Teachers and Evidence-Based Practices.
6. Write in complete sentences throughout the paper.
You will note that I put example text in the template. To efficiently use the template, replace my example text with your text. Begin by putting your name in place of the words "Your Name" in the header, and then replace all of the example text I put under the two headings.
