Data-Based Individualization Within MTSS
Intensive intervention, or Tier 3, is considered the most challenging level of intervention for schools to achieve fidelity and appropriate intensity. Data-based individualization (DBI) offers schools a systematic, empirically tested approach for designing and individualizing instruction and has been shown to be an effective strategy for improving outcomes for students with severe learning needs. This pathway will walk you, step by step, through the DBI process.
Highlights
- The basics of using line graphs to chart student data and interpreting that data with an easy-to-use decision-making rubric
- Helpful tools, such as a daily intervention dosage log and an implementation checklist, to gain insight into the quality and fidelity of your intervention implementation
Student-Centered Approaches
This pathway presents three important student-centered approaches to learning: explicit instruction, universal design for learning (UDL), and the interconnected systems framework (ISF). You will learn the basics of each approach and the different ways they support students.
Highlights
- How explicit instruction can decrease cognitive load, thereby incr
