• Deepen our knowledge of the Big Ideas of Reading to develop profiles of student’s reading skills
• Identify when students do not respond to general education instruction and secondary prevention and when intensive intervention should be considered
• Evaluate secondary prevention programs to ensure alignment to student needs and have evidence of strong effect on students who present reading difficulties

What is Specially Designed Instruction (SDI)?
“Specialized instruction might be delivering a specialized reading program or other Orton Gillingham based approaches. It might involve implementation of Data Based Individualization, a research-based process of individualizing and intensifying interventions through the systematic use of assessment data, validated interventions and research-based adaptation strategies.”
(United Federation of Teachers www.uft.org)

1. Secondary intervention program
2. Progress monitoring
3. Diagnostic assessment
4. Adaptations using a taxonomy of intervention adaptations
5. Continued progress monitoring, with adaptations occurring as needed to ensure adequate progress
Five Data-Based Individualization (DBI) Steps
Data Based Individualization and Special Education Many students in need of the more intensive intervention using DBI are students with disabilities.
DBI provides a systematic data-based process for:
• Designing specialized instruction based on student need
• Evaluating progress on IEP goals
• Intensifying specialized instruction for students who are not making adequate progress
v Schools must ensure that students with disabilities have access to the most intensive supports within the school including DBI when appropriate.

• Identify clear, measurable objectives with a singular focus that fit the lesson
• Design lessons to teach strategies in word reading and comprehension using the I Do, We Do, You Do sequence
• Write clear, concise explanations for key concepts and use them consistently
• Use modeling techniques appropriate to the content being taught
• Elicit frequent responses using appropriate questioning techniques

Data Analysis to Make Instructional Decisions
24
• Monitor student response to intensive intervention using appropriate instruments for the student and the skills being targeted
• Track the progress of at-risk students using reliable, valid progress monitoring tools
• Evaluate formal and informal sources of diagnostic data about student performance to determine areas of need and form a hypothesis regarding non response
• Make adaptations to students’ instructional programs using quantitative and qualitative changes

Progress Monitoring
• Always choose the instructional level.• If a fifth grader is reading at a second grade level,
what will happen if they do a fifth grade progress monitoring probe every week? • The student will not show progress
• Fidelity • Follow the administration directions exactly• Score the same way every time• Follow the progress monitoring schedule

Diagnostic Assessments• An assessment that teachers can use as a tool to collect
information about a student’s strengths and weaknesses in a skill or area. Examples of these assessments are:• Running records• Phonics inventory• Observations and anecdotal notes• Error analysis of progress monitoring data
• Assessments determine specific instructional needs and can be used when students are not responding to an intervention
28
Data-Based Individualization: Adaptations
29
Adaptations
• Dosage (intervention time)
• Student-program alignment
• Explicit instruction principles use
• Behavior Supports
• Generalizing Skills
Quantitative/Qualitative Adaptations: Dosage
• The amount of time the students spends practicing• Repeat, strategically reorder, or create lessons• Increase the amount of intervention time per day
or number of lesson per week• Decrease group size• Increase opportunities to respond/practice in each
lesson
30
(Kearns, et. al. 2017)
Qualitative Adaptations: Alignment
• How well the program addresses a student’s academic skill deficits in foundational skills• Add or change the skills taught to address the full
set of student deficits in a curricular area• Adjust to minimize or eliminate instruction of
already mastered skills• Changes the strategy for teaching a skill when the
current strategy may not be effective• Use observation data or self-report to determine
instructional time alignment with student needs
31
(Kearns, et. al. 2017)
Qualitative Adaptations: Explicit Instruction
• Clarify explanation using concise, consistent language
• Include enough modeling to assure students are ready for guided practice
• Increase or better structure guided or independent practice opportunities (i.e., practice with fading support)
• Improve phrasing of questions at the student’s appropriate performance level requiring a variety of response formats
• Increase number of opportunities for students to respond actively to teacher questions in a variety of response formats
• Provide feedback that is more immediate, specific, positive, corrective, and/or frequent
32
(Kearns, et. al. 2017)
Qualitative Adaptations: Behavior Supports
• The extent to which self-regulation, motivation, executive function, or strategies to minimize non-academic behaviors. • Increase the structure of the environment in terms of schedule, routines,
physical space• Clarify expectations for students, teach and practice expectations,
monitor compliance, and/or reinforce expectations through repeated practice
• Increase engagement by giving choices, varying tasks, decreasing “downtime”, intersperse easier known tasks with harder new tasks to build momentum, and increase explicit instruction use
• Acknowledge appropriate behavior/consistently ignore inappropriate behaviors
• Select reinforcement strategies to match the function of the student's behavior
• Teach and practice strategies to improve/support self-regulation and/or executive functioning
33
(Kearns, et. al. 2017)
Qualitative Adaptations: Generalizing Skills/Attention to Transfer
• Whether the program includes opportunities to practice skills outside of the original content (e.g., applying word decoding to sentences).• Examine standards to see what transfer will require and
build activities to move toward those standards• Provide students with practice that relies on known skills
but presents them differently• Have student extend the use of the skill to other areas of
learning• Teach student self-monitoring strategies to think about
when to use strategy

Participant Feedback
43
Participant Feedback• “I have seen such growth in my case study child as well as
others that I work with in small groups. It is a direct reflection of the material I am absorbing in our sessions! Very valuable.”
• “I really learned a lot about the depth and span of reading instruction. It was more informative than any college class or professional development in the building.”
• “I was able to get hands on experience with a variety of case study examples. I was able to look at student trends and discuss each student’s needs.”
