Course Overview
The purpose of this 6-week, online course is to develop language and skills around multi-tiered systems of support/response to intervention. John Hattie’s work reveals large effect sizes for students’ outcomes when schools implement a tiered approach to instruction and intervention.
This course provides an understanding of the following: How do we change our systems and structures so we have a clear mechanism for operating as a team to make decisions about small-group instruction, intervention, and referral that are efficient, effective, and equitable? Who receives intervention? How does this look? What are the data we need to make decisions about grouping and intervention? The concepts of co-teaching, teaming, reader and writer’s workshops, creative scheduling, role, and student sharing are applied within the context of MTSS in this course. Research-based strategies for Response to Intervention and Instruction and Positive Behavior Intervention Supports are embedded in discussion about the logistics of providing both long- and short-term Tiers II and III supports.
The course meets on Zoom six times, Saturday mornings from 10:00 - 11:30 AM, Hong Kong Time, November 6 - December 11, 2021.
