Tuesday, February 25, 2025

About the Session:
The National Center for Systemic Improvement (NCSI) presented the fifth session in our Research to Practice Spotlight Series. This session focused on the key findings from a comprehensive meta-analysis examining writing interventions for students in the elementary grades. Drs. Collins and Ciullo shared practical, evidence-based approaches that states, professional development providers, and local education agencies (LEAs) can use to better support educators in utilizing evidence-based writing strategies. The session highlights practices to build teachers’ capacity to meet individual educational needs and expand student knowledge through effective writing instruction.


Presenters:

  • Alyson Collins, PhD., Texas State University
  • Stephen Cuillo, PhD., Texas State University
  • Lauren Artizi, PhD. and Kathleen Pfannenstiel, PhD., (NCSI)

About the Series:
NCSI is hosting a series of webinars aimed at unpacking key evidence-based practices and recommendations to promote learning for students with disabilities and others struggling to learn reading, writing and math. Participants will hear about key practices and considerations for SEAs and LEAs in supporting educators with implementation. View previous hosted sessions on the NCSI website at https://ncsi.wested.org/collection/research-to-practice-spotlight-series/.

NCSI has helped our state build the capacity of our LEAs in a way that has directly impacted outcomes for students with disabilities.
State Special Education Director, 2024
I was a new director coming in without a ton of special education training and so I really needed their experience to help me push forward. I don’t think it would have been possible without them.
State Special Education Director, 2023
NCSI has given us a long-term investment in building our results-based accountability system through intensive support.
