Scenario: Evaluating Intervention Effectiveness Assignment Instructions
Overview
As a special education teacher, one of the students on your caseload is Ian, an 11th-grade student with autism. Recently, Ian’s team met to discuss intervention options for his future program. Although you and the team discussed multiple options, you did not come to an agreement on which interventions to use. One of the major challenges was that the team could not decide how they would use each intervention and were unsure how to evaluate the effectiveness of each. You create a matrix the team can use to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions.
Instructions
Drawing upon the considerations related to evaluating intervention effectiveness from the course text, create a matrix to assess intervention effectiveness to be applied to various interventions discussed by Ian’s team.
Step 1: Identify 4 criteria the team will use to evaluate intervention effectiveness for each possible intervention.
Step 2: Include a way to note the following for each intervention option within your matrix: who is responsible for conducting the evaluation, how bias will be controlled, and how frequently the evaluation will be conducted.
Step 3: Outline 3 criteria the team will use to decide if the option will be continued or discontinued.
· Step 4: Reflect upon the matrix development process. The following considerations should be addressed within the reflection: an explanation of how matrix development was approached, identification of variables that may impact implementation fidelity of the matrix, and an outline of how the matrix may be utilized to support collaboration within a multidisciplinary team.
The final assignment should:
· Be at least 2 pages, double spaced, including a 1 page matrix and 1 page reflection but excluding title page and reference page.
· Follow all current APA formatting guidelines.
· Include at least three references and two biblical principles cited within the reflection.
· Acceptable references include the course text, online resources, and scholarly works no more than five years old.
