ESEA emphasizes the use of evidence-based activities, strategies, and interventions. Section 8101(21)(A) of the ESEA defines an evidence-based intervention as being supported by strong evidence, moderate evidence, promising evidence, or evidence that demonstrates a rationale. Some ESEA programs encourage the use of “evidence-based” interventions and others require the use of “evidence-based” interventions that meet higher levels of evidence.
