Pursue the Clues

Data-Driven Implementation of Tiered Interventions with English Learners, Session 2

A common challenge identified by district leaders in Connecticut is how to use appropriate, multiple, and varied data types to accurately identify the need for special education services among English learner students. This REL Northeast & Islands webinar hosted by the Connecticut English Learner Research Partnership is the second in a three-part training series for Connecticut educators on how to effectively implement response to intervention (RTI), or scientific research-based interventions (SRBI), with English learner students. Dr. Sarah Moore and Lindsey Massoud from the Center for Applied Linguistics review the collaborative use of data for distinguishing between the sources of students’ difficulties as well as modifications for screening and monitoring progress appropriate for English learners. Because the webinar includes some reflective and interactive activities for participants during the live event, viewers will experience some periods of silence in the recording.
