Research to Practice Webinar Series

NCSI is pleased to present the third session in our Research to Practice Spotlight Series focused on assessing and improving integrated multi-tiered systems of support (I-MTSS) implementation to better understand and meet students’ academic and behavioral needs. I-MTSS can serve as a framework for making data-based decisions around effective instruction and support for all students, particularly students with disabilities and others struggling with reading and math. We review I-MTSS and the Integrated MTSS Fidelity Rubric (IMFR), including study findings and the suite of materials, and facilitate discussions on ways SEAs can use or support the use of the IMFR. Presenters: Jennifer Pierce, Ph.D. (IMFR Project Director, AIR, NCSI), Laura Berry Kuchle, Ph.D., (NCSI), and Lauren Artzi, Ph.D., (NCSI).

The second session in our Research to Practice Spotlight Series focuses on building the foundational literacy skills of early learners, including those who may benefit from additional support. We review the evidence-based language and literacy recommendations (5-7) in the What Works Clearinghouse practice guide Preparing Young Children for School, show relevant examples of early childhood program curricula and activities, and facilitate discussions on ways SEAs and LEAs can support educators to implement recommendations with diverse learners in varied contexts. Future sessions will address other recommendations from this guide. Presenters: Jill Pentimonti, PhD., (University of Notre Dame, Practice Guide Panel Member), Lauren Artzi, PhD., (NCSI), Laura Berry Kuchle, PhD., (NCSI).

This session focuses on the on the evidence-based recommendations in the What Works Clearinghouse practice guide: Providing Reading Interventions for Students in Grades 4–9 and ways SEAs and LEAs can support educators to implement recommendations with diverse learners in varied contexts.
