How can school and district leaders establish the conditions needed for educators to successfully implement data-based individualization (DBI) for students with the most intensive needs? To help put the pieces in place for the next school year, join our free webinar, Planning for Success: Building Readiness to Implement Data-Based Individualization, May 2, 2024 at 4:00 pm ET to learn how supporting the readiness of educators and establishing the necessary infrastructure for DBI are keys to success. Readiness involves identifying needs, establishing shared goals and plans for DBI, enhancing buy-in, addressing barriers, and reviewing and securing resources, among other topics. Assessing and developing readiness may save time, resources, and effort when implementing DBI. In this webinar, Dr. Zachary Weingarten, Product Development Coordinator at NCII, will highlight key recommendations to build readiness to implement DBI. Dr.

Using DBI to Improve Literacy Outcomes for Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
How can data-based individualization (DBI) help educators to address the growing expectations for literacy outcomes for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities? In this webinar, Dr. Chris Lemons an NCII Advisor, Associate Professor of Special Education in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, and Co-Director of the Stanford Down Syndrome Research Center, provides an overview of activities conducted through an Office of Special Education Programs model demonstration project. This project focused on increased literacy outcomes using DBI, inclusion, and enhancing individualized education programs. The webinar shares project findings and provides recommendations for integrating those findings into professional development and practice to improve student outcomes.

This document addresses five guiding questions for educators to consider when reviewing and interpreting assessment data for English Learners and includes links to selected resources.
In this webinar, experts from the PROGRESS Center and National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) model how practitioners can use data-based individualization (DBI) to develop and implement SDI for students with disabilities and a panel of special educators share how using DBI improved the efficiency and effectiveness of their service delivery, communication with families, and collaboration with other educators.
In this webinar, NCII’s Caitlyn Majeika and Aleksis Kincaid provide an overview of the Academic Intervention Taxonomy Briefs and describe how they can help teachers design productive intervention programs for students with intensive academic needs. Presenters share how educators can use information from the briefs to understand the strengths and weaknesses of an intervention based on the dimensions of the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity; evaluate the appropriateness of interventions on the academic intervention tools chart; and guide decisions about the selection or purchase of a new intervention. In addition, Kim St. Martin, Director of MiMTSS, shares how Michigan schools and MiMTSS staff have used the briefs to review academic interventions.
This webinar, featuring Drs. Donna Sacco, John Hoover, and Tracy Spies, illustrates considerations for implementing data-based individualization (DBI) with ELs that accounts for their unique academic, social, behavioral, linguistic, and cultural experiences, assets, and needs. They share why it is important to (a) deliver instruction that represents culturally and linguistically sustaining best practices, and (b) distinguish the needs and assets of learners to improve progress (i.e., second-language acquisition, culture, learning challenges).
