Jennifer Ledford from Vandy presented on a set of standards she and some others have put forward for SCR at the BK conference. I pulled them to take a look. It is a good discussion- basically- she is worried that people are interpreting the research standards sometimes in a way that is overly rigid. And that is likely true- evidence-based practices are better thought of I think with a “best available evidence standard” rather than a yes/no- and it is a multi- part question- What works, for whom, under what conditions? And on what outcomes? Nothing works for everyone- all the time, and then, some things that don’t work for most will occasionally work for someone…here is the special issue that contains commentary across all the methods.
