A Decade of Evidence-Based Education: Where Are We and Where Do We Need to Go?
The promise of evidence-based education was improved outcomes for all students. In the intervening 10 years, it has become clear that without careful attention to implementation the promise of evidence-based education will not be realized.

Evidence-based practice in the broader context: How can we really use evidence to inform decisions
This article examines the evidence-based practice decision-making heuristic in the broader context of clinical decision making.

Evidence-Based, Empirically Supported, OR Best Practice?
Evidence-based, empirically-supported, and best practice are often used interchangeably. A case is made that for clarity each term should have a separate and distinct meaning.

Why Education Practices Fail?
This paper examines a range of education failures: common mistakes in how new practices are selected, implemented, and monitored. The goal is not a comprehensive listing of all education failures but rather to provide education stakeholders with an understanding of the importance of vigilance when implementing new practices.

An Expanded Model of Evidence-based Practice in Special Education
This paper reviews the types of evidence that can used to guide decision-making in special education as well as the necessity for high quality implementation, and monitoring the effects of intervention.

Best Practices: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants?
One source of evidence about effective practices is best practice guides. This talks review the advantages and limitations of these guides.

Clinical Expertise: Where Would We Be Without It
Clinical expertise is one of the cornerstones of evidence-based practice and influences all decisions made by practitioners. This session describes ways that expertise can be used in a responsible, evidence-based fashion.

Data-based Decision Making Cultures: Four Assumptions.
Data-based decision making is often found in ethichal guidelines for practice. This paper explores four assumptions that have to be true if students are to benefit.

Data-based Decision Making: More than the Data
Data-based decision making requires more than having data. This paper reviews what is necessary to effectively employ data-based decision making.

Evidence-based Practice for Applied Behavior Analysts: Necessary or Redundant
Evidence-based practice has been described as a decision making framework. This presentation describes the features and challenges of this perspecive.

Evidence-based Practice: More than a List
Evidence-based practice has at least two meanings. This paper argues that it is best thought of as a decision-making framework.
