How Can I Intensify Supports When I Can’t Add More Time to the Day?

For struggling learners and students with disabilities, the first thing educators try is increasing the duration and/or frequency of an intervention or instructional strategy being implemented. But, what if a student is still not making adequate progress? How can we intensify supports when more time isn’t an option? This interactive session will introduce participants to the data-based individualization process, which provides a systematic approach to intensifying supports for students with persistent academic and/or behavioral needs.

  • Participants will understand the data-based individualization process and how it relates to MTSS implementation.
  • Participants will learn how to apply the taxonomy of intervention intensity for students with persistent academic and/or behavioral needs.
  • Participants will learn about free tools and resources that they can use with their MTSS and IEP teams to support struggling learners.
