The Every Student Succeeds Act’s evidence requirements mandate the use of research in the selection of school improvement interventions, with the aim of ensuring that schools and districts invest their efforts and funding more wisely. This study of eight states presents three different approaches to the evidence requirements: using lists of pre-sanctioned evidence-based interventions, training schools and districts to evaluate the research supporting potential interventions, and building local evidence of effectiveness. Through interviews with state administrators, I show how each approach relied on different understandings and prioritizations of research rigor and local relevance.

《每个学生都成功法案》的证据要求要求在选择学校改进干预措施时使用研究，目的是确保学校和学区更明智地投入精力和资金。这项针对八个州的研究提出了三种不同的证据要求方法：使用预先批准的循证干预措施清单、培训学校和地区来评估支持潜在干预措施的研究，以及建立当地有效性证据。通过与州行政人员的访谈，我展示了每种方法如何依赖于对研究严谨性和当地相关性的不同理解和优先级。
