Pamela Radford: A quality intervention includes three essential components:
1)Proactive strategies that set the student up for success (e.g., level of reading material, environmental structure), 2) teaching strategies (what is taught and how), and 3) motivational strategies (how positive and corrective feedback are provided). To identify interventions to improve student performance, we first need to look at why the current intervention is not working. It may be as simple as "fine tuning" the intervention by adding more instructional time or pre-correction procedures. In my experience you are more likely to have greater fidelity of the implementation when interventions are "fine tuned" rather than starting from "scratch." However, in some cases the old intervention needs to be thrown out completely and a new technique implemented.
