Applicability of Evidence-Based Interventions

This document may be especially useful for districts and schools that tend not to see themselves represented in the research literature related to the effectiveness of interventions. This group of districts and schools includes, for example, those in rural communities and those serving indigenous populations. 

This tool assumes that, prior to using it, you have engaged in a comprehensive analysis of needs, identified interventions to address those needs, and would like to further narrow the promising options for more intensive review (see the additional resources at the end of this document). 

It is likely that as you examine interventions, there will be pluses and minuses to each one. This tool is designed to frame conversations about considerations of fit, but does not provide a formula to weigh those pluses and minuses. Instead, this tool helps you identify which interventions you would like to further examine for potential use in your setting.
