SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Improvement Strategies in Early Childhood 2025-26
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to learn new teaching strategies to use with your students? Evidence-Based Improvement Strategies (EBIS) are teaching methods\, strategies\, and interventions that have been scientifically proven to be effective. EBIS are based on research and are intended to help teachers provide students with high-quality instruction. EBIS can help improve student outcomes and take the guesswork out of teaching by providing specific approaches. \nEach month\, we will explore a specific EBIS that is effective with preschoolers. We will look at the components of that EBIS\, how to implement it with fidelity\, look at it in action\, how to evaluate its effectiveness\, and many other aspects. Several resources will also be provided for each specific EBIS.
