Increasing rates of school completion: Moving from policy and research to practice

Abstract

s: Coding & Definitions The categories for describing interventions were selected based on a review of coding manuals including the Proce- dural and Coding Manual for Identification of Evidence-based Interventions (Kratochwill et al., 2002), and guidelines for examining the conceptual and methodological quality of intervention (Crane, 1998). In addition, compila- tions of other evidence-based programs (e.g., Safe and Sound: An Educational Leader’s Guide to Evidence-Based Social and Emotional Learning Programs, CASEL, 2002) were examined. Coding areas from these sources were considered and used to derive categories suitable for this document. The categories selected and subsequent coding is intended to be descriptive rather than evaluative. This document includes an abstract of each sample intervention and a chart summarizing information across interventions. The contact person listed for each intervention reviewed the chart and relevant abstract for accuracy. Table 3 lists the information that is included in the abstract and/or the summary chart.
