The federal CSR program identifies 11 components as the basis for a comprehensive program. Those applying
for federal CSR funds must design a program to address all components.
Components one and eleven specifically focus on SBR. The first
component concentrates on the instructional strategies that are
part of a comprehensive school reform program. The research on instructional
strategies includes some empirical and other high-quality research.
Component eleven requires that schools' CSR programs demonstrate
that the strategies they have selected have evidence of effectiveness,
both individually and as an integrated set of practices. The resources
for component eleven include "best available" evidence
and reports reflecting professional judgment.
For components three (professional development), seven (parental
involvement), eight (technical assistance), and ten (reallocation
of resources), CSR planners and implementers will rely on the best
research available as the basis for their proposal. The resources
for these components represent quasi-experimental research, best
practices, standards, or other professional wisdom. For the remainder
of the components, schools must focus on their individual, local,
and state needs.
For overall guidance on the federal CSR Program and SBR, see Appendix
C of the CSR Program office's Non-Regulatory Program Guidance.
