The question of whether EFF is more likely to happen [successfully and as it
was intended] in programs with certain characteristics is a very good one.

We learned in research about family literacy programs that, indeed, they
work most successfully in programs with certain characteristics, and like
Joan, I have observed certain characteristics in programs which bring about
quality outcomes with EFF in place.  As a partner to "focus on the student,"
I observe that those teachers who have the easiest time with EFF
implementation are those who are willing to share the power and control of
the learning environment with their students.  This means that each step of
the way, from orientation and intake to transition from the setting, both
student and coach are working toward shared goals.
