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.
