- 5. What is evidence-based instruction? The integration of professional wisdom with the best available empirical evidence in making decisions about how to deliver instruction Program, methodology, and/or practice Records of success – reliable and valid evidence indicates the instruction works Ultimately the practitioner is responsible for determining whether or not the specific instruction or intervention WORKS (Mather & Wendling, 2009; Whitehurst, 2002)

- 7. Guiding Principles for Learning Design for Web based Instructional Strategies Need to integrate Experiential learning Experience, Reflect , Theorize, Experiment (Kolb, 1984) Specify the role of the teacher and/or strategies within the process Conversational framework Identify a more teaching focused approach to the learning process Specifying teaching strategies to engage the learner Emphasize dialogue and adaptation with actions generated through interaction, feedback, reflection (Laurillard, 2002).

Goal of Interventions Instructional Compensatory Compensate or “make up” for Increase student’s performance skills not currently possessed, through adding skills to the allowing a student to complete a student’s own skill base task at an expected performance level Increase performance without Increase the skill base of the necessarily increasing the skill student base of the student Are uniquely matched to the student’s characteristics and needs Without the intervention, the student’s ability to perform the task is dimished (Wojcik & Bardi, 2005; TATN, 2012)

Editor's Notes
- #2: TCASE Web based Instructional Strategies
- #14: Instructional interventions help a student increase the skills that he or she ‘owns’. This can be done through any number ofsound instructional practices. For example, if a student was having difficulty in spelling, providing extra spelling practicecould be an intervention that would help the student increase his or her own skills in spelling the words that he or she ispracticing.Compensatory interventions, on the other hand, have a different goal. Compensatory interventions compensate, or make upfor skills not currently possessed, allowing a student to complete a tasks at an expected performance level. If theintervention is taken away, the student would demonstrate diminished performance and would not be able to complete thetask at that expected performance level. However, provided the compensatory intervention again, the student’s performanceon the task would increase.The classic example of a compensatory intervention is a pair of glasses. Without glasses, a person’s eyes may not have theability to bring things into focus. As soon as the person puts on his or her glasses, the glasses compensate for the eye’sinability to focus and allow the person to see clearly. Removing the glasses results in diminished performance in the area offocusing.Unlike instructional interventions, compensatory interventions do not increase the skill base of the student. They merelycompensate for the skills not currently possessed by the student and allow the student to complete the task.Note: This information comes directly from presentations created by Brian Wojcik and Nora Bardi (2005) who retain the rightsand permissions for this work. The initial question of remediation vs. compensation was presented by Dave Edyburn and canbe located at http://www.connsensebulletin.com/edyburnv4n3.html.
