The intent is to help students read progressively more complex texts, initially with support and then on their own. Lessons feature a similar structure no matter the grade or level. We will review the lesson structure and strategies that students need to use during guided reading in the intermediate grades.

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. Electronic devices are needed.

This design very simply weaves together all the best practices in education providing greater accessibility for all students, including students with disabilities.
