Educators are increasingly under pressure to show that their educational methods have proven results. As schools vie for limited government granted resources, and parents enroll students based on procurement of resources and test scores, teachers, principals, and politicians are scrambling to find evidence-based instruction methods that work.

Empirically Supported Educational Methods provides a blueprint of effective instruction across modalities and subjects focusing on applied behavioral analysis. Applied behavior analysis is widely known for its success in teaching functional skills to autistic and developmentally delayed students. More recently, the same principles have been empirically demonstrated to be equally successful with mainstream students. Separate sections on precision teaching, direct instruction, use of computers in instruction, and personalized systems of instruction cover a variety of teaching methods, encapsulating what works, for whom it works, why and how it works, and the circumstances for best results. Additional chapters on new developments in evidence-based education focus on learning efficiency in college, peer tutoring, and training professionals.

* The education literature is replete with fly-by-night ideas and unresearched opinions about how to teach children. This book has none of that. The reader is given researched educational methods. In fact, some methods draw on 3 or 4 decades of experimental data. The whole book is cohesive, not just a patchwork of different educators' opinions. All of the chapters are built on basic scientific principles of behavior, and all of the methods can be used with one another

* This is a book by scientist-practitioners, but not for scientists only. A parent can read many of these chapters, see the merit in the methods, and convey the need and the process for each of the methods

* No book stands alone, but is connected to a greater literature base. The reader is shown where other information can be found about these methods.

* The only thing better than scientific data is scientific data supported by consumer testimonial
