Two programs for at-risk children meet "near top tier" evidence standard

Two programs for at-risk children meet "near top tier" evidence standard

The Top Tier Evidence initiative, a resource used by federal officials to identify social programs meeting the Congressional Top Tier evidence standard, has identified Child FIRST and Parent Management Training - the Oregon Model (PMTO) as "Near Top Tier." The initiative's expert panel (1) found evidence from well-conducted randomized controlled trials that these programs produce sizable reductions in child maltreatment and juvenile crime, respectively; and (2) believes that each program needs just one additional step to qualify as Top Tier - a replication trial to confirm the initial findings and establish that they generalize to other sites. 

The evidence summary for Child FIRST can be seen here and the evidence summary for PMTO can be seen here.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
