Understanding Claims and Effectiveness Evidence Schools deciding which new products and services to adopt need solid proof that these solutions will improve student outcomes and meet strict regulatory requirements. Selecting products and services guided by evidence contributes to students receiving the best possible education—an evidence-based education supported by solutions proven to deliver the promised outcomes. School buyers cite the “providing an evidence-based education” amongst their most important considerations when evaluating solutions for purchase. Given this backdrop, educational solution providers have a critical obligation to demonstrate the eCectiveness of their products. Proof of eCectiveness is not only educationally beneficial, but also a federal mandate. Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA; USDOE, 2023), educational products must meet rigorous standards of evidence before they can be considered for adoption.
