About the IC Team Lab

The goal of the Laboratory for Instructional Consultation Teams (Lab for IC Teams) is to support the development, implementation, and maintenance of effective instructional and intervention practices. The Lab for IC Teams focuses on researching and evaluating the implementation of IC Teams in applied school settings.  

•  The goal of the evaluation component is to research the efficacy of early intervention and reform efforts in participating districts and to disseminate current research of best practices. The Lab for IC Teams supports the systematic evaluation of critical components of the IC Team model including changes in professional functioning, implementation, and outcomes. Outcomes to be researched include: changes in student achievement and behavior, changes in teaching practices, changes in referral patterns for specialized services, changes in school culture/ climate and other areas identified by participating school districts. The Lab for IC Teams disseminates results of this and other relevant research to participating districts. In addition, the Lab for IC Teams offers consultation to districts in their own efforts to formulate and conduct program evaluation at the local level.
