Intervention entails the purposeful and selective intensification of elements of instruction for an individual or group of students beyond that which is typically delivered to all students. To understand what makes for good interventions, we need to understand what makes for good instruction. With that understanding, we will dive into learning more about:

● skill-based, fluency-based, and performance-based interventions
● selecting and titrating the intensity of intervention as a response to instruction
● using assessment to inform instruction and problem-solve

All are welcome, and we especially invite general and special education teachers, content specialists, school psychologists, and building administrators. Please "bring” any materials or tools you would like to use in your reflections in planning for meaningful interventions. We will also review case examples to guide discussions.

This training will focus on how the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) learning standards can be taught in grades K-12 in order to assist all students (with and without disabilities) in developing increased self and career awareness to apply throughout school and postsecondary settings. Instruction in the CDOS learning standards allows students to develop career decision making skills and more effectively participate in planning for post-secondary life. Instruction in these standards will also better enable students to meet the CDOS Commencement Credential requirements (an approved Pathway to Graduation in NYS). This is a 2-part training which will review all 3 CDOS Learning Standards: Career Development, Integrated Learning and Universal Foundation Skills/Career Majors. Methods and strategies for infusing instruction of the CDOS standards into curriculum lessons will be reviewed.

Explicit instruction helps us support and meaningfully engage ALL students. It has quite an impact on diverse groups of students across all grade levels, in general and special education classrooms who are learning both academic and non-academic concepts. For all students, including students with disabilities and English Learners, it provides an approach that integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and can be used in pre teaching and reteaching content and skills. For students with disabilities, it is also an important component of Specially Designed Instruction.

All are welcome, and we especially invite general and special education teachers, content specialists, school psychologists, and building administrators. Please "bring” your lessons, unit plans, and observation tools. We will provide information and facilitation in applying principles and components of explicit instruction to help fine-tune your skills! We will spend time in the areas below (and more!):

● breaking down concepts and skills to logically sequence lessons and craft clear objectives
● providing students with necessary schema and background knowledge, on which to build new understandings
● planning for guided and supported practice through modeling, demonstrating, thinking aloud, active engagement, scaffolding, and fading supports
● being responsive to student needs through formative assessment and providing informative and actionable feedback
● building independence and generalization within lessons and through periodic review, practice, and application
