“The ques=on is not “Is it possible to
educate all children well? But rather, Do we want to do it badly enough?”

l We can effec(vely teach all children l Intervene early l Use a mul(-‐(ered model of service delivery
l Use a problem solving method to make decisions within a mul(-‐(ered model
l Use research-‐based, scien(fically validated interven(ons/instruc(on to the extent available
l Monitor student progress to inform instruc(on
l Use data to make decisions l Use assessment for 1) screening, 2) diagnos(cs, 3) progress monitoring
NASDSE, 2005
l High-‐quality instruc(on/interven(on is defined as instruc(on or interven(on, matched to student need, that has been demonstrated through scien(fic research and prac(ce to produce high learning rates for students
l Learning rate and level of performance are primary sources of informa(on used in on-‐going decision-‐making
l Important educa(onal decisions about intensity and likely dura(on of interven(ons are based on individual response to instruc(on across mul(ple (ers of interven(on.
NASDSE, 2005
l Evidence-‐based instruc(on for all students in all (ers l Differen(ated instruc(on at all (ers l Sufficient academic engaged (me (AET) l Time for prac(ce l Frequent, psychometrically sound assessment l Real (me use of data l Best use of technology l Parental and community involvement l Professional development

Par(es agree to modify the Consent Decree to improve performance of SWDs receiving special educa(on services
District focuses efforts on increasing academic performance and instruc(onal effec(veness for SWDs receiving special educa(on services
The percentage of LAUSD students in special educa(on scoring basic or above on the 2008 CST increases to 25.1%, (from 19.9 % in 2006).
The percentage of LAUSD students in special education scoring basic or above on the 2009 CST increases to 28.4%, exceeding the MCD’s ELA Outcome goal of 27.5%.
District meets 14 of 18 Outcomes in the MCD, and makes significant progress toward others, but remains under the MCD.

� Using the informa=on for this 2nd grade class… • How would you group the children for Tier 1 instruc=on? � Core? � UA?
• Which students need more? • What could “more” look like? � Using Richard’s NWF assessment � What skills has he mastered? � What skills will need more instruc=on?
� Using the informa=on for this 2nd grade class… � Using Roberto’s NWF assessment � What skills has he mastered? � What skills will need more instruc=on?
• Knowing this new informa=on…
• What do the two students have in common?
• What does the instruc=on look like for Tier 1?
• What addi=onal supports may be needed?
What does the data tell you…
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we
reach it.
