This video provides and introduction to ECRI components, the research supporting its impact on student literacy outcomes, and a small group lesson demonstration.

This video will review the use of Chart Dog as a tool to assist with rate of improvement calculation within the Response to Intervention determination process.

This session will focus on nesting multilingual students (MLs) ecologies within the testing, assessment, and evaluation continuum to support teams in developing more equitable decision-making processes. Current assessment practices continue to privilege white and middle-class students while focusing on MLs perceived deficits. First, laying the foundation for reliable and valid practices for all learners will guide the discussion as we clarify the differences between evaluation, assessment, and testing. Then, we will examine the types of assessments used within an MTSS framework to make instructional decisions for MLs. Instructional questions will be posed to model aligning them to the types of assessments to answer the questions across the MTSS tiers. Finally, collaboration across various stakeholders in data-based decisions making will be highlighted.

While educators often speak about multilingual learners (MLs) as a group, the reality is MLs vary on many factors. Knowledge of student level factors help to align instructional practices to meet ML students' unique needs. To answer the question of whether academic challenges are rooted in second language acquisition differences or a true disability, all students must have access to high-quality core instruction matched to their specific backgrounds. We will examine the typologies of this heterogeneous group and discuss specific instructional factors to consider. Then we will review the MTSS tiers and how data collected across the tiers by a collaborative team guide appropriate referral decisions. Finally, special education programming for MLs will be highlighted.

This webinar will review evidence-based practices and guidelines for establishing professional learning communities in order to sustain a tiered system of support.

With a focus on grades 1-3, classwide intervention options will be described with emphasis on peer mediated activities. Participants will learn of the empirical and theoretical basis for using a peer-mediated approach to address advanced computation skills. Explicit steps for arranging peer mediated activities will be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to plan and practice with intervention materials and protocols.

Various math teams who participated in the session, Classwide Math Intervention, will prepare and share a brief presentation (30 minutes) describing and explaining their implementation experience and outcomes.

A peer-mediated intervention for addressing those needs will be explicitly shared that focuses on partner reading and paragraph shrinking. A fidelity tool will be provided to guide instruction to scaffold implementation and outcome data will be shared demonstrating the positive effects of classwide reading intervention.

The Classwide Reading Intervention (Grades K-1): Implementation series covered how to implement phonlogical awareness, letter sound, and word-building classwide interventions that are based on research. In this video K-1 Grade Level Teams of Reading Teachers who participated in the series will present on the impact of their classwide reading intervention on student reading outcomes and classroom experiences.
