E vidence-based practices (EBPs), or instructional practices validated by scientifically based research, have been promoted as key components of educational reform (Cook, Smith, & Tankersley, 2011;Earles-Vollrath, 2012). To ensure that EBPs really do cause desired changes in student outcomes, they are derived from research studies that demonstrate high internal validity, such as methodologically rigorous randomized controlled trials.

Scientifically based research has been promoted in recent policies and legislation. However, the gap between research and practice in special education has prevented many students with disabilities from receiving the research-based instructional practices they require to achieve their potential. Reports of research-based practices may be incomplete without including data, theory, and narrative accounts. Prominently featuring teachers’ accounts of how they effectively use research-based practices may help to facilitate their acceptance and application among practitioners. This introduction concludes with brief overviews of the four articles in this special issue of Intervention in School and Clinic, which provide narratives regarding the use of four research-based practices (i.e., classwide peer tutoring, mnemonics, functional behavior assessment, and curriculum-based measurement), as well as information regarding the research and theoretical basis for each practice.

We encourage our readers to submit ideas, suggestions, or manuscripts for Spotlight. This feature of Intervention focuses on a specific school program, clinic, camp, or individual concerned with special and remedial education. We would be pleased to assist our readers in developing an article for this column.- GW
