What is intensive instruction?

- It is a process educators use to identify and provide evidence-based instruction.
Students receive many opportunities to practice skills or other areas of need and
receive feedback.
What does DBI entail? (Data-Based Individualization)
- The process is only for students with the most severe and persistent needs. It is
most effective when layered on top of high quality, evidence-based instruction
and implemented by skilled professionals. One a student is identified for
individualized intervention teachers utilized a validated intervention package
which can be used for academics or behavior.
How are evidence-based practices determined?
- They are determined by rigorous, high standards of research that have been
proved effective to students in specific areas.
What does intensive instruction integrate?
a. Using a standard treatment protocol intervention with fidelity
b. Regularly monitoring progress
c. Collecting diagnostic data
d. Making adaptations to interventions
In intensive instruction, why must students have many opportunities to respond and
receive immediate, corrective feedback?
- Students have many opportunities to respond and receive feedback because
they must become proficient in the application of the acquired skills and
strategies. Practice makes perfect so the more times they are exposed to
questions and different strategies the more they become comfortable and
acknowledged to it.
When an intervention is not effective, what options does a teacher have?
a. Teachers can use additional diagnostic information to try to figure out the
route cause of the academic or behavior challenges.
b. Teachers then can take that date from standardized instruments,
observations, and error analysis to the IEP meeting to plan instructional
changes to those results.
c. The teacher must focus on the students struggling areas to get the result in
performance gains. They can adjust the work to fit their needs.
It takes students with disabilities _10__ to _30_ times more trials to master a skill than it
does students without disabilities.
