We report on a practitioner implementation of Fusion, a first-grade mathematics intervention. Studies such as this evaluation of a loose implementation under realistic conditions are important to curriculum developers' understanding of how evidence-based programs and tools work under a variety of implementation scenarios. In this…

We developed the Team-Initiated Problem…

This article analyzes the findings of a pilot project conducted in 2008-2009 as a partnership between University Studies, Portland State University's interdisciplinary general education program, and the University's Russian Flagship Language Partner Program. The project proposes a new approach of integrating non-English speakers' language skills,…

This session will describe the social validity, usability and intent to use of an interactive, state-of-the-art, professional development program based on the Response to Intervention (RtI) approach and its core components (e.g., problem-solving strategy; three tiers of intervention service delivery with universal, selected and intensive…

This is the final annual report of a 4-year (1997-2001) third-party evaluation of the Structure of Intellect (SOI) Model Schools Pilot Program in Oregon. The SOI program was developed based on the learning theories and Structure of Intellect Model attributed to J. Guilford. The program used a combination of structured curriculum in the form of…

This report presents the findings of year 2 (July 1998-June 1999) of the third-party evaluation of the effectiveness of the Oregon Structure of Intellect (SOI) Model Schools Pilot Program, a program based on the learning theories and Structure of Intellect model attributed to J. Guilford. The SOI program, developed by R. and M. Meeker, uses a…
