Online Tutorial

This tutorial will focus on specific ways to intensify what you teach, as well as how you teach it, so that students who might seem stuck can start making progress as readers. You will learn intensification practices that can be used in the context of Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III instruction. This tutorial will also cover how legal issues involved in 504s and IEPs can provide a formal structure for this work, and how these legal safeguards can work in tandem with the intensification process.
