This session will focus on the use of instructional strategies to support macro-level writing instruction and the writing process at the secondary level (grades 4-12) for students who struggle with writing skills. Specifically, strategies to help improve the focus, content, organization, and style of student writing will be discussed. Participants who wish to implement a strategy from this session and attend the second session in this series will receive a presentation template.

This is a follow up to the Day 1 one session, continuing with a focus on the use of instructional strategies to support micro-level writing instruction at the secondary level (grades 4-12) for students who struggle with writing skills. While handwriting, keyboarding, and spelling will be discussed, emphasis will focus on how to explicitly teach sentence analysis and construction using the “Identify-Expand-Combine- and Create” strategy. Other strategies, including the use of grammar building charts and sentence unscrambling, will also be covered.

After providing a variety of options for high school and middle school scheduling, the presenter will discuss the scheduling and implementation of the Intervention/Enrichment (IE) period at the secondary level. Additionally, the presenter also will offer examples of the “Unit” or “Community” lunch period, used by many schools to support MTSS interventions.

School administrators and practitioners speak to the adoption and implementation of integrating evidence-based academic, behavioral and SEL practices within a tiered model.

In this first book study session Dr. Louise Spear-Swerling reviews and elaborates on Chapter 1: An Introduction to Structured Literacy and Poor-Reader Profiles. Link to all materials: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bI2_dgerLc2h2T-OUC3bbvq_k-qgGDqz

This session focuses on the implementation of interventions for students for whom Tier 1 practices are unsuccessful. A switch to systems-centered language in our communication around Tier 2 interventions is discussed. A variety of Tier 2 interventions that can be implemented to improve students′ social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes, including peer-mediated interventions are provided along with links to additional resources via the Padlet link below.

This video will review the evidence-based practices and processes associated with viable and sustainable multi-tiered systems of support.

MTSS represents a framework that is associated with the "how" of school improvement. This video will review 30 years of what has been learned about the "how" or effective implementation practices, processes and tools provided by the National Implementation Research Network.
