Universal Intervention (Tier 1) occurs in the general education classroom and is designed to support all students in their ability to access good instruction at grade level. Interventions and supports received during the core instructional minutes (universal time for all) meet the needs of about 80% of a school’s population for both academics and behavior. For students who may need additional intervention and support above the regular core instructional minutes, a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework is implemented to problem solve, design, and implement individualized learning plans to close identified skill gaps. Join us as we explore the why of MTSS. Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) fall under the MTSS umbrella and TEA's expectation of the framework. This introductory level will dive deep into processes of the systematic framework of academic and behavioral interventions necessary for student progress. TSHA credit approved. Attendees will be able to participate in this webinar in their district via the Zoom link provided in the registration confirmation email.

With the STAAR redesign, students can use online accessibility features that support them in achieving expectations. Teachers must know how to prepare students to use these features through everyday instructional practices such as scaffolding and differentiation. Both scaffolding and differentiation are designed to encourage all students to achieve expectations for standards and can seem difficult or overwhelming. Scaffolding allows teachers to help all students reach expectations in a step-by-step framework. It can be confused with providing multiple, differentiated paths of instruction. This workshop will provide teachers with strategies and activities for immediate implementation in the classroom to help scaffold and differentiate content to increase student success on STAAR.

One effective way to differentiate learning is to balance large group instruction with the use of small, flexible groups. Through small groups, teachers can accommodate all learners by varying the size, materials, tasks, purposes, and support level for each group. In small groups, everyone is engaged, and everyone has a voice. Students can sometimes learn more from each other than they can from the teacher. Strategies will be shared to use during small group lessons.

With the STAAR redesign, students can use online accessibility features that support them in achieving expectations. Teachers must know how to prepare students to use these features through everyday instructional practices such as scaffolding and differentiation. Both scaffolding and differentiation are designed to encourage all students to achieve expectations for standards and can seem difficult or overwhelming. Scaffolding allows teachers to help all students reach expectations in a step-by-step framework. It can be confused with providing multiple, differentiated paths of instruction. This workshop will provide teachers with strategies and activities for immediate implementation in the classroom to help scaffold and differentiate content to increase student success on STAAR.

Do we intervene, accommodate, or modify? We all learn differently and it is hard sometimes to know the difference. The Public School K-12 Law, ESSA, requires another "mind shift" for classroom instruction. Universal Tier 1 instruction should include several common practices that are designed to meet the needs of all learners. How do we support school improvement and improve outcomes for students when there isn't a "one size fits all" program?

Are you tired of pulling your hair out teaching grammar, and yet students' writings are just not improving? The latest research says that writing improvement is a direct result of sentence improvement - which makes sense. Sentences are the foundation of writing. If the foundation is weak, then the whole essay will suffer. Join us for this engaging session where you will learn how to help your students use the inquiry method to stabilize and solidify their foundational writing skills and move forward to embellishing and polishing word choice. You may attend this workshop in-person or via distance learning.
