Project Overview
About the Ohio EBITE Program
Evidence-Based Intervention Training for Education (EBITE) is a grant-funded collaboration between The ohio state university and ohio university that is designed to help organizations increase capacity to select and use evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for school improvement. The program strengthens school improvement teams’ skills for using EBIs within a continuous improvement cycle. Historically, the EBITE program includes an initial workshop experience and provides coaching support as teams apply concepts and skills through the academic year. This practicum project is part of a coordinated effort to adapt the original format of the program into self-paced, interactive elearning modules.
EBITE Program Learning Objectives
BY THE END OF THE EBITE COURSE, LEARNERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
• DEFINE WHAT IS MEANT BY AN EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION (EBI).
• DIFFERENTIATE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT (ESSA) QUALITY CRITERIA FROM OTHER CRITERIA USED TO EVALUATE EBIS.
• EXPLAIN THE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PROCESS AND ITS ROLE IN THE EBI PROCESS.
• EXPLAIN THE ROLE OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND GOAL SETTING IN THE EBI PROCESS.
• EXPLAIN EFFECTIVE USE OF DATA IN THE EBI PROCESS.
• INTERPRET RESULTS (E.G., EFFECT SIZES) OF INTERVENTION STUDIES TO JUDGE FIT FOR CHANGE GOALS.
• EVALUATE SCHOOL/DISTRICT CONTEXT PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION.
• USE EBI CLEARINGHOUSES AND OTHER SOURCES TO LOCATE EBIS.
• EVALUATE EBIS FOR USE IN SOLVING AN EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM.
• ASSESS IMPLEMENTATION FIDELITY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO EFFECTIVENESS.
