Specially Designed Instruction Overview

What is specially designed instruction (SDI)? In this interactive session, special education teachers will be able to define SDI, recognize the common misperceptions about it, identify examples of SDI, and refine their instructional planning to ensure SDI is occurring daily. Multiple resources with research-based strategies will be shared.

Explicit Instruction

Students with disabilities require explicit instruction, but what does that exactly mean? Participants will learn about and see in action the critical components of explicit instruction, as well as High Leverage Practices, and be able to implement them to ensure student progress.

Refining Your SDI

You’ve got the IEP...so what’s next? How do you determine SDI to ensure student progress? In these interactive sessions, special education teachers will unpack SDI to determine what makes specially designed instruction ‘special.’ Using High Leverage Practices in instruction and a shared SDI Toolkit, teachers will collaborate to analyze their student IEP goals and take their SDI to the next level. Everyone will walk away with renewed confidence in planning and implementing their SDI!
