This training module introduces the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity and describes how it supports the DBI process by helping provide explicit guidance on how to select and evaluate validated behavior intervention programs to best meet students’ needs and intensify or adapt those interventions when students or groups of students do not adequately respond.

This resource includes a tip sheet and an example weekly check-in form to help teachers develop relationships with their students and stay connected during distance learning.

This lesson illustrates the use of Elkonin boxes in a virtual setting and includes three variations.

This tip sheet and example schedules were developed to support virtual learning.

This document presents considerations for implementing DBI in light of COVID-19 with an emphasis on delivery in virtual settings.

This overview will guide you through NCII’s resources that can be used to create new or supplement existing teacher preparation coursework or professional development content on intensive intervention.

This Innovation Configuration can serve as a foundation for strengthening existing preparation programs so that educators exit with the ability to use various forms of assessment to make data-based educational and instructional decisions within an MTSS. The expectation is that these skills can be further honed and supported through inservice as practicing teachers.

This example illustrates the virtual implementation of EL Education’s Decoding and Spelling assessments.

This two page handout highlights how to use the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity when selecting, evaluating, and intensifying interventions for students who are English learners (ELs). Specific considerations for ELs are provided across the dimensions of strength, dosage, alignment. attention to transfer, comprehensiveness, behavioral support, and individualization.

This activity was developed by Tammy Moran a special education teacher in Ferris Independent School District. In this lesson, she illustrates the use of the Understand-Plan-Solve-Evaluate (UPSE) Method. This method is a problem-solving strategy that can be used to support students struggling with word problems. The lesson can be used synchronously or asynchronously and does not require using multiple platforms. This collection includes a tip sheet, a video example, slides to facilitate the lesson, a UPSE template, and reflection questions.
