As students move into the higher grades, they can bring with them a cascade of academic deficits--making it difficult for teachers to select appropriate interventions. This full-day workshop is designed for general-education classroom teachers and special educators in grades 3 through 12. The training shows instructors how to sort rapidly through multiple student issues to find the right academic target(s) and to create a manageable and effective classroom intervention plan.


The training provides answers to these 5 challenging teacher questions:

  1. How can I pinpoint student gaps in reading, math, and writing skills?
  2. What are research-based academic intervention ideas that I can use with my students?
  3. How can I efficiently document my classroom intervention plans in a way that will increase my chances for success?
  4. What are feasible methods of classroom data collection that I can use to track student progress on interventions?
  5. How can I provide support to students with deficits in 'academic survival skills' such as organization or time management?
