Do you look at your universal screener data and wonder where to start? How should you design your school day to meet the needs of all your students? Is there any way to give them all the targeted instruction they need to succeed?

Figuring out how to plan for everyone's needs can be tricky, but it's not impossible. It takes an understanding of your data, your schedule, and the number of adults available for instruction.

After taking this course, you'll understand the difference between Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 instruction and receive tips for implementing each tier.

You'll understand what focus areas will be most impactful when intervening with elementary and secondary students, and how specific intervention strategies can be used across content areas to make it easier for students to transfer learning.

You'll be able to download data analysis templates, instruction and assessment inventories, and planning resources to use immediately!
