THANK YOU FOR
ALL YOU DO!!!!
Here’s to a

“A” Data Collection
• What is Academic Data Collection?
– Academic data collection measures academic performance
and progress (skill growth) of children (i.e., district-wide,
building-wide, groups, and individual students)
– It is SCIENTIFIC!
• Why is academic data collection important?
– Academic data collection assists school staff and teachers
in identifying academic needs
– It helps us understand if our instructional practices and
interventions are working
– Academic data collection reflects WHAT we are actually
doing in the classroom
“A” Data Collection
• “A” data collection needs to continue throughout the
Response to Instruction and Intervention process
(RtII)
• “A” data collection also needs to continue if a
student has been initially identified
• “A” data collection for ALL students, including those
on IEPs, should reflect the data collection we do for
RtII children
• We need to have the data available to reflect
progress on IEP goals
“A” Data Collection
• Things to note:
– RtII and IEP goals need to
be measurable, so we
can easily collect the data
to show progress
– Data needs to be
measurable!!!
– Anecdotal records should
be more supplemental
data
– The type of data
collected needs to reflect
what we are trying to
measure
“A” Data Collection
• Differences between data collection:
– Curriculum-Based Assessment (CBA)
• Shows mastery of the curriculum
• Great for Tier I
• Examples: MAP Assessment, formative and summative
assessments, short cycle assessments
– Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM)
• Student GROWTH or PROGRESS measures
• Can be used at all Tiers
• Examples: DIBELS, EasyCBM, AIMSweb

Specially Designed Instruction (SDI)
& Evaluation Team Reports (ETR)
What is Specially Designed Instruction
(SDI)?
• SDI can be defined as adapting, as appropriate to
the needs of an eligible child, the content,
methodology, or delivery of instruction to:
• Address the unique needs of a child as a result of
his/her disability
• Ensure access of the child to the general curriculum
(National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities (NICHCY), 2013)
What makes SDI different
from instruction that a
general education student
receives?
• Specially Designed Instruction is
linked to a student’s IEP goals and
objectives.
• SDI should be planned, organized,
and meaningful in that it is an
intentional and systematic process
aimed to target a student’s needs
that are listed in his/her IEP goals
and objectives.
SDI: Interventions vs.
Accommodations vs. Modifications
• Interventions: An evidenced-based intervention refers
to a specific strategy or program that has been proven
to be effective to improve a targeted skill when
implemented and monitored with integrity.
• The goal of an intervention is to provide additional or
modified instruction to help a student achieve
adequate progress in a specific area.
– Example: Wilson Reading System & Fundamentals
SDI: Interventions vs.
Accommodations vs. Modifications
• Accommodations: An accommodation
eliminates or reduces obstacles associated
with a student’s ability to perform at the same
standard of performance expected of general
education students.
– Example: Additional time, preferential seating
SDI: Interventions vs.
Accommodations vs. Modifications
• Modifications: A modification is a change that
revises the standard of performance and/or
alters the expectations.
Best Evidenced-Based SDI
Interventions
• Results gathered from a 70 study meta analysis
• Data gathered on students grades 6-12
• Academic content areas included science,
social studies, English

maintenance, and generalization
• Mean effect size of .50 demonstrated
moderate effect and .80 or above indicates a
large impact.

Behavior Strategies
•
It is essential that we explicitly teach behavior
–
Don’t expect it if you don’t teach it
•
Three Essential Elements
1. Develop Relationships
• Greet your students daily
• Get to know what they are interested in
• Listen to them
2. Create clear, reasonable, enforceable guidelines that are
taught and practiced regularly
3. Create routines
1. Build a regular schedule
2. Create procedures for bathroom, transitions, and getting
out of seat
3. Prepare students for changes in routines
Behavior Strategies
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Behavior Momentum: When expecting a student to complete a difficult
request or task, precede it with three simple requests, then provide the difficult
task. Reinforce the student for completion of each task. More likely to
complete the difficult task.
Behavior Interspersal: Intersperse difficult tasks or requests with less difficult
ones. Best when combined with behavior momentum. Place easier tasks
within sets of target tasks
Attributions: Attribute student success to what they did—their effort at the
task
Behavior Rehearsal: When preparing for a new situation, provide student with
exact steps to prepare the student. Use What Ifs
Behavior Specific Praise: When providing verbal positive reinforcement, let
the student know exactly what behavior he exhibited was desired. Directly link
your praise to the specific behavior you are trying to increase.
Nonverbal and Picture Cues: Establish a visual cue. Have loads of visual cues—
visual posted expectations that use pictures—consider photos of students
following rules. Then a reminder: “What do you need to do to follow rule #3.
Remember SPORT rules—short, positive, observable, reinforced, taught.
Choice: You may do this or this—it is your choice. I know you can make a good
decision for yourself. Reinforce good choices.
Proximity Control: Close but not too close. Moving around the room.
Respecting personal space.
Nintendo Effect: Capitalizing on the student’s interests to engage them in nonpreferred activities. Project based on interest like superman, trains, Nemo.
Building Team Work
