Teri Marx and Faith Miller will host a webinar that will challenge current thinking about how to set appropriately ambitious and measurable behavioral goals in light of the 2017 Endrew F. v.

National Center on Intensive Intervention Mission and Approach

NCII builds the capacity of state and local education agencies, universities, practitioners, and other stakeholders to support implementation of intensive intervention in literacy, mathematics, and behavior for students with severe and persistent learning and/or behavioral needs, often in the context of their multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) or special education services. NCII’s approach to intensive intervention is data-based individualization (DBI), a research-based process that integrates the systematic use of assessment data, validated interventions, and intensification strategies.
