Dr. Lawrence Maheady, Dr. Cynthia Smith, and Dr. Michael Jabot, all members of the SUNY Fredonia College of Education Evidence First team, worked with 16 City of Dunkirk School District teachers (K-12) to identify important outcomes and desired improvements (ex: student behavior; student engagement; time on task; etc.). The team then aligned these teacher needs with research supported practices. This week-long workshop series included demonstration of selected practices, guided practice in their use, and a commitment to ongoing feedback and support throughout the academic year regarding the acceptability of practice, accuracy with which selected practices are being implemented, and impact on pupil outcomes/improvements.
