Data from three studies showed that administrative decisions that disregarded recommended protocols regarding teacher training, teacher preparation, and student schedules were related to lower levels of teacher fidelity, student progress at mastery, and student achievement. Most results were statistically significant and had large associated effect sizes. Implications for practice and policy are discussed.enCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USImplementation FidelityAdministratorsStudent AchievementDirect InstructionArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1177/0731948719830346
