SED 551 - Advanced Intervention Methods

This course focuses on creating specially designed instruction (SDI) for students with disabilities to ensure they make progress in the general curriculum and have accessible learning opportunities that center belonging and engagement. Students will develop an understanding of inclusive, evidence-based practices related to core instruction, intervention, and support within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). In particular, candidates will design grade-level, standards-aligned academic instruction, plan for accommodations and supports, explore in-depth the data-based individualization process, including the design and implementation of intensive, individualized, research-based interventions that support progress in the general curriculum and promote belonging and connection with peers and teachers. As a requirement of the course, candidates will engage in field-based activities that provide real- world opportunities for translating theory and research into practice.
