The Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia and its Jefferson Education Accelerator are creating the first ever comprehensive catalog of education researchers in the country. By centralizing information about academic researchers in an easily navigable and freely available database, NERD will enable school leaders and education-focused innovators and investors seeking expert perspective and technical expertise to find researchers and involve them in their systems and processes. The goal of NERD is to facilitate engagement between unlikely collaborators in the education community in order to elevate merit over marketing and increase the use of evidence in decision making.

Are
you struggling to determine how to select and intensify interventions? Join
Meagan Walsh, M.Ed., and Lynn Fuchs, Ph.D., July 25th from 3-4:15 p.m. for a
webinar The Taxonomy of
Intervention Intensity: A Case Example for Building Intervention Intensity in
Reading. In this webinar they will demonstrate how the Taxonomy of
Intervention Intensity can support educators in systematically selecting and
modifying intensive literacy interventions based on student need. After
providing a brief overview of the dimensions for evaluating and building
intervention intensity, they will share a detailed case study illustrating how
a teacher used the taxonomy to provide data-based individualized instruction in
reading comprehension.

on the 25th? An archived version of the webinar will be posted on the NCII
website following the live event.

What is Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)?
- PBIS is an implementation framework for maximizing the selection and use of evidence-based prevention and interventions practices along a multi-tiered continuum that supports the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral supports of all students
- The interplay of 4 implementation elements is considered in all decisions
Data – What information is needed to improve decision making
Outcomes – What students need to do for academic and behavior success
Practices – What students experience to support the learning and improvement of their academic and behavior success, e.g., teaching, prompting, and recognizing expected social behaviors
Systems – What do educators experience to support their use of evidence-based academic and behavior practices, e.g., school leadership teams, data-based decision making, continuous professional development and coaching
- The multi-tiered “continuum” is comprised of carefully selected, evidence-based practices at three different levels of support intensity. Specific practices are matched both to the level of support need, and the local cultural context
Tier 1: Universal practices are experienced by all students and educators across all settings to establish a predictable, consistent, positive and safe climate
Tier 2: Targeted practices are designed for groups of students who need more structure, feedback, instruction and support than Tier 1 alone
Tier 3: Indicated practices are more intense and individualized to meet the challenges of students who need more than Tiers 1 and 2 alone
