"One of the strengths of this book is how interesting it is to read, a result of all of the examples based on real-world school practice. School practitioners who are threatened by EBP because it deals with research will find it less threatening after reading the book. Furthermore, there are samples of forms and evaluation scales that can help the novice get a start on EBP. For more advanced practitioners, there are enough practical ideas and resources to stay up to date."--School Social Work Journal, "One of the strengths of this book is how interesting it is to read, a result of all of the examples based on real-world school practice.

Synopsis
This SSWAA Workshop title guides school professionals in infusing research throughout their daily practice. It shows school service providers a pragmatic approach to informing every major practice decision with the appropriate research so that students receive the best possible services. Raines goes beyond creating a catalog of interventions that will soon be outdated and provides school social workers with a detailed road map of the EP process., Though recent legislation embedded with the No Child Left Behind Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act mandates the use of evidence in school-based practice to demonstrate positive outcomes for all students, school social workers - especially those long out of school - often lack the conceptual tools to locate, evaluate, and apply evidence in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of their work. The first of its kind tailored specifically to thisaudience, this SSAAA Workshop title guides school professionals in infusing research throughout their daily practice. It shows school service providers a pragmatic approach to informing every major practice decision with the appropriate research so that students receive the best possible services.This includes how to use research to make reliable and valid assessments, how to use research to choose the best intervention, and how to do research to evaluate progress. Raines goes beyond creating a catalog of interventions that will soon be outdated and provides school social workers with a detailed road map of the EBP process. Chapters detail the nuts and bolts of EBP, explaining how to ask a relevant, answerable question; where to search for evidence; how to appraise the literature andavoid the pitfalls of web based information; how to adapt and apply the evidence in a developmentally and culturally sensitive way; and how to evaluate the results. Detailed examples along the way, including sample spreadsheets practitioners can easily adapt to evaluate their students' progress, bringaccountability within reach for school professionals who struggle to find the time, resources, and support sufficient to apply the best evidence to their schools., Though recent legislation embedded with the No Child Left Behind Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act mandates the use of evidence in school-based practice to demonstrate positive outcomes for all students, school social workers - especially those long out of school - often lack the conceptual tools to locate, evaluate, and apply evidence in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of their work.
