Evidence-Based Practice Documentation Based on the results of a Delphi Study we conducted, an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Panel was established to define criteria for distinguising between "evidence-based" and "promising" practices. Evidence-based practices are practices which have been rigorously studied and evaluated, and have accumulated research evidence which consistently shows that those practices are effective. Promising practices are practices that have been rigorously studied and evaluated, but have not yet accumulated enough research evidence. Documentation
EBP Rubric - The EBP panel has developed a protocol and rubric for evaluating the extent to which school counseling practices are promising or evidence-based. EBP PowerPoint Presentations - The rationale and recent work of the EBP Panel were presented during the ASCA Conference in Orlando, FL in June of 2005:
