The ELSA intervention was designed to build schools' capacity to support pupils' emotional wellbeing needs from within their own resources. A wide-ranging research base spanning over 10 years has grown around the ELSA intervention. This scoping review was commissioned by the ELSA Network to systematically identify and map the current composition…

Introduction: Because of their regular contact with students, faculty can find themselves in the position of needing to support student's emotional needs, a task for which not everyone feels well trained. Statement of the Problem: COVID-19 has exacerbated existing mental health concerns and created additional problems related to low levels of…

An extensive number of studies evaluating educational interventions are conducted and disseminated through peer-reviewed articles and conference presentations annually, but there is limited uptake of research among key stakeholders--educators and administrators (henceforth, practitioners; Farley-Ripple et al, 2018; Hollands et al., 2019; Slavin,…

The needs of the Black/African American population in the United States have historically been neglected in research, including in the development of therapies and services to support people with autism. The scope of interventions to support autistic people that are designed or adapted to be culturally responsive to the Black American population…

This paper reviews the literature to clarify the image of a student with a high level of well-being (WB) for a future systematic literature review and evidence-based interventions to promote student WB. It presents a holistic approach to the analysis of definitions, operationalisation and indicators with interpretative phenomenological analyses…

Objective: The precise measurement of treatment fidelity (quantity and quality in the delivery of treatment strategies in an intervention) is essential for intervention development, evaluation, and implementation. Various informants are used in fidelity assessment (e.g., observers, practitioners [clinicians, teachers], clients), but these…

Concussions and their impact on athletes are a major concern within the realm of strength and conditioning. This article delves into the significance of concussions, exploring their implications for athletes, coaches, and strength and conditioning professionals. Emphasizing the necessity of evidence-based practices in concussion management and…

Purpose: This study was intended to investigate a small-scale School-based Motivational Interviewing (SBMI) pilot with first-year college students. This approach honors student autonomy, supports self-determination and has the potential to impact educational outcomes in higher education. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence based…

Research at the intersection of social science and genomics, 'sociogenomics', is transforming our understanding of the interplay between genomics, individual outcomes and society. It has interesting and maybe unexpected implications for education research and policy. Here we review the growing sociogenomics literature and discuss its implications…

Data-based decision making (DBDM) is a process of using student data to inform instructional decisions and intensify intervention for students whose data indicate inadequate academic and behavioral progress. Data teams, an important structure for DBDM, are a collaborative group of school faculty who meet to systematically analyze student data,…

E-cigarettes have rapidly gained popularity among youth in recent years. This scoping review identifies opportunities for school nurses to incorporate e-cigarette prevention strategies into their practice and identifies gaps for future research in school nursing evidence-based practice. Using the methodological framework developed by Arksey and…

Parenting programs aim to improve parenting quality, which may, in turn, support various aspects of child development, including behavior and mental health. However, parenting interventions show considerable heterogeneity in response patterns across different families, demonstrating that they are not one-size-fits-all programs. This variability…

Despite decades of research efforts, data-based instruction (DBI) for students with intensive intervention needs are not being widely used in practice as anticipated, and many educators have difficulties in implementing it. This systematic review aimed to examine what kinds of implementation drivers and strategies have been used to support…

The escalating challenges faced by educators highlight the urgent need to understand factors influencing their wellbeing. Teachers in the United States education system are stressed, burnt out, and leaving the field in unprecedented numbers (Sparks, 2022; Camera, 2022; Zamarro et al., 2021; Dabrowski, 2021; Hill-Jackson et al., 2022). It is…

For the last decade, educators have been directed to use evidence-based practices in their classrooms. However, despite this direction, the use of these practices is not widespread in many classrooms. Though many resources exist to help educators locate and select these practices educators face barriers which make these practices infeasible or…
