Effective teaching starts with quality instruction that most students respond well to. However, about 35% of students will require specialized and more intensive instruction and/or intervention to meet academic and behavioral standards. Both students with exceptionalities who are eligible to receive special education and related services and students who are placed at-risk due to circumstance require, deserve, and are legally entitled to quality intervention.
Quality Instruction and Intervention: Strategies for Elementary Educators offers an accessible resource for educators interested in evidence-based strategies to ensure all students have access to an excellent education. Two dedicated chapters, authored by leading content and strategy experts in the field, are devoted to content areas. The first chapter focuses on quality instruction with academic subject matter specialists as lead authors with interventionists supporting. The second chapter focuses on effective intervention with the interventionists taking the lead author roles and academic subject matter specialists supporting. Between the two chapters will be a dialogue between the teams of authors bridging instruction and intervention. This unique approach bridges the gap between quality instruction and effective intervention, an often overlooked component of teacher education. We also include dedicated chapters on the integration of instructional technology and executive functioning. After reading the book, educators will be able to describe the components of effective instruction and intervention in each of the content areas, access empirically validated materials, and locate resources for continued learning.
Written for elementary education teacher preparation programs, this practical book offers a summary of quality general education instruction followed by the most up to date empirically validated and evidence-based instruction and interventions for students with and at-risk for disabilities.
