(2021).&nbsp; Their review measured how researchers assessed treatment integrity, the frequency it was evaluated, and the level (school or individual implementer).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruckman and colleagues reported that measures at the school level were reported about twice as often as at the individual level and assessed once or twice per year.&nbsp; Treatment integrity measured at this level tells us how well the overall system is functioning with respect to the implementation of the intervention.&nbsp; Data at this level does not indicate if all students are receiving a well-implemented intervention or if some students are not receiving the intervention as planned.&nbsp; Measuring treatment integrity at the level of an individual teacher will inform if students in a particular teacher\u2019s classroom are receiving a well-implemented intervention.&nbsp; Individual-level measures are essential for data-based decision-making when determining if a student should receive more intensive services at Tier 2.&nbsp; Low levels of fidelity would suggest that rather than increase the intensity of service for a student, it would be wise to invest in improving the individual teacher\u2019s implementation of the intervention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Bruckman and colleagues discussed the limitations of assessing treatment integrity once or twice a year.\u00a0 Such infrequent measurement does not tell us if implantation with integrity is occurring consistently or not.\u00a0 The challenge of assessing more frequently is that it places a high demand on resources.\u00a0 Considerably more research is required to develop effective and efficient methods for evaluating treatment integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Link<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s43494-021-00044-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s43494-021-00044-4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Citation for Article<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buckman, M.
