[Gradstudents] Brown Bag - this Thursday!

[Heather A Killeen]

REMINDER - Brown Bag this Thursday!

Dr. Soojin Park has hosted the graduate writing café for the last year and has transitioned that session to a brown bag. The new format will include a research talk/presentation by an SOE faculty member, graduate student or guest speaker, followed by time to discuss projects and socialize with other graduate students. The event has also been reduced from 3 hours to 2 hours. We will continue to provide snacks for all attendees.

The Spring 2024 schedule is as follows:

June 6th - 12-2pm in Sproul Hall room 1224
Speaker: SOE Assistant Professor Wesley Sims

Title: Are School-Based Problem-Solving Teams Effective? A Meta-Analysis of Student- and Systems-Level Effects

Abstract: Given the widespread use of school-based problem-solving teams (SB PSTs), empirical evidence establishing their effective- ness is essential. Guided by the Input-Mediator-Output-Input (IMOI) Framework, this meta-analysis examined SB PST effec- tiveness generally and differentiated measured effects by tar- geted outcomes and specific SB PST processes used. Data from 13 studies (14 effects) yielded a large overall weighted estimate of effect (g = 0.84). Measured SB PST effects on student outcomes (e.g. academic or behavioral improvement) appeared large (g = 0.89), on systems outcomes (i.e., reduction in referrals to special education) were moderate (g = 0.66), and on team outcomes (i.e., procedural fidelity) appeared large (g = 1.00). Although not a significant moderator of effect, team use of an evidence-based process was associated with larger effects (g = 1.78, k = 8). Similarly, although non-significant, studies that met rigorous, published standards for research methods showed larger outcome effects (g = 1.10, k = 2).

RSVP: RSVP by June 5th <https://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eDNwFiZAh6cLmdw>

If you want to participate as a guest speaker as a graduate student or faculty member, please reach out to me, Dr. Park or graduate student assistant Nicole Colchete (ncolc001 at ucr.edu<mailto:ncolc001 at ucr.edu>).
