Purpose: This center for coordination, consultation, and evaluation will work with six research centers implementing behavior and reading intervention models for K-3 students. The center will provide technical assistance and consultation to the research centers and evaluate their intervention programs.

Methods: Project resources will focus on professional development of teachers intervening with children with marked difficulties in reading and/or behavior, provision of evidence-based interventions for these students, support in all curricular areas for K-3 children, a framework for continuous assessment to determine and predict progress, exploration of the sustainability of various interventions, and study of the interventions' effects on the interdependence of students' reading and behavior difficulties.

Products: The multidimensional framework developed by the project will feature recent methods from evidence-based interventions research and will provide a multimethod, multisource approach to evaluation, with measures of student, classroom, and system outcomes, and an organizational development/management plan based on problem-solving consultation and technology-facilitated communication and data management. The framework and other results of the project will be disseminated using traditional and advanced electronic means.
