Center Product Icon Teaching Social Behaviors Practice Brief

Teaching social behaviors provides opportunities for teachers to communicate and encourage students with disabilities to demonstrate behavioral expectations and communicate needs more effectively.

Center Product Icon Reviewing and Intensifying Instruction Practice Brief

When reviewing and intensifying instruction for students with disabilities, teachers should consider a three-phase cycle of plan, deliver, review and intensify individual, small-group, and whole-group instruction. Even though teachers may plan for and deliver high-quality instruction, some students with disabilities will continue to have difficulties with making progress toward academic and behavioral learning targets. Teachers should use data to monitor student progress and adapt instruction as necessary, using a process of intensifying instruction.

This brief focuses on delivering instruction using a model of explicit instruction. Explicit instruction is a combination of modeling and practice that research has shown to benefit the teaching of reading, writing, and mathematics and has been found to be especially beneficial when teaching students with disabilities.
