From introduction: "...The paper begins with a description of the parameters of best practices. There are three views: (a) literature support as theory, (b) definitions that are prescriptive, and (c) successful outcomes. Each view is elaborated and shows the lack of clarity in one singular definition of the concept of best practices. Hopefully, this clarification will allow readers to draw their own conclusions about what the concept of best practices means to them. At the very least, it will certainly provide the readers with an organized inventory of programs considered best practices in the literature..."
