Metacognitive Strategies
Evidence-based practices (EBPs) are specific strategies, activities, or programs that have been found to be effective for improving student outcomes and backed by rigorous, high-standard research, replicated with positive outcomes (What Works Clearinghouse, 2020). To read more on how ALN is aligned to EBPs, you can use the form below to access our alignment guide, which includes links to ALN instructional resources."
