Evaluating Educational Interventions: Single-Case Design for Measuring Response to Intervention

Practical Intervention in the Schools Series

by T. Chris Riley-Tillman, Matthew K. Burns, Stephen P. Kilgus

This innovative guide is now in a revised and expanded second edition with an even stronger applied focus. It helps educators harness the potential of single-case design (SCD) as a critical element of data-based decision making in a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). The authors present simple and complex SCDs and demonstrate their use to defensibly document the effects of academic or behavioral interventions. In a large-size format with lay-flat binding for easy photocopying, the book includes reproducible graphs and other tools; appendices provide guides to analyzing and presenting data in Microsoft Excel. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.

[Briana · Rating 3 out of 5]

While initially a little overwhelming in vocabulary for those who haven't had a stats class in awhile, this book lays things out easily and gives good information for evaluating the effectiveness of single-case interventions. Useful for educational settings.
