Academic Interventions

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to develop student competencies regarding academic assessment for intervention, evidence-based intervention, and response-to-intervention (RTI) procedures in general. This will be done by taking a holistic view of the student that includes the student?s academic environment and the student?s pattern of academic performance compared to himself/herself and others. Knowledge of these leads to the selection of evidence-based interventions that must be implemented with fidelity, appropriate progress monitoring techniques, and procedures to gauge RTI. Data-based decision making is the goal of this process. Students will complete an academic intervention project to demonstrate academic assessment, intervention selection, treatment integrity monitoring, progress monitoring, and data-based decision making competencies.
