Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are children and youth who are evaluated for learning disabilities in school settings (roughly ages 0-21) and involved in district assessment processes.
✕Less likely to help
Students not involved in school-based assessment processes or who do not have SLD concerns may see little direct benefit.
What this research studies
This grant supports working with schools to reduce mismatches between research findings and real-world student classifications. It uses community engagement and implementation science to figure out what helps or hinders schools from using evidence-based assessment practices. The team will test a prototype professional learning community designed to support teachers in applying these practices. The work is conducted in partnership with school districts to ensure relevance and practicality. The goal is to improve accuracy and fairness in identifying students who need supports.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, students who need support for learning disabilities could receive more timely and appropriate services.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research shows mixed uptake of evidence-based assessments; this project aims to improve implementation in real-world settings.
