About the Course

This study examines the fidelity of implementation (FOI) of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in classrooms during the scale-up process, focusing on factors that may influence implementation quality without compromising core components. Using data from the dissemination of the Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST) middle school program across 371 schools, the research identifies classroom-level variables such as student misbehavior, time constraints, and curriculum modifications as key predictors of FOI. The findings suggest that classroom management, sufficient time allocation, and thoughtful curriculum adjustments are crucial for maintaining adherence, quality of delivery, and student engagement when scaling EBIs in real-world educational settings.

This course is based on the reading online article, Influence of Classroom ‘Level Factors on Implementation Fidelity During Scale ‘up of Evidence ‘Based Interventions created by Katie Massey Combs et al in 2022.
