What Do We Mean by Evidence-Based? Improving Literacy Brief
National Center on Improving Literacy
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), emphasizes the use of evidence-based activities, strategies, and interventions. Section 8101(21)(A) of the ESEA defines an evidence-based project component as being supported by four possible levels of evidence: (1) strong evidence; (2) moderate evidence; (3) promising evidence; or (4) evidence that demonstrates a rationale. The four levels of evidence are presented in this brief.
