Understanding the realities of conducting school-based intervention research
Reading is an important skill for students to master while in elementary school. Despite the importance of being adequate in reading, a majority of U.S. students are not reading at the expected grade level. This case study discusses an intervention research study that was developed to evaluate a small-group reading program designed to improve elementary-aged students' reading skills. Although a plan was developed and approved by all participating parties, the research study described in this case did not go as planned. This case study explains (a) where things veered from the plan throughout the study, (b) what data could still be used to understand the impact of the reading program, and (c) how to improve collaborative partnerships between university researchers and community-based partners (e.g., those from local school districts).
