Reading Apprenticeship: Improving Student Science Achievement and Grade Point Average

Reading Apprenticeship® is a program that targets improving student outcomes in literacy, science achievement, and grade point average. The program uses instructional strategies to help students build comprehension skills, overcome difficulties with reading, interact more deeply with text, gain interest in reading, and improve their confidence in reading. Teachers model comprehension strategies and help students practice these strategies, mentoring students in reasoning and problem-solving skills to handle more complex reading tasks. The program includes professional development for teachers, which can be delivered online or in-person, and provides teachers with a copy of the developer's e-book, Reading for Understanding.

Around the Corner (ATC): Improving Early Reading Skills for Preschool and Kindergarten Students

Around the Corner (ATC) is a program for both preschool and kindergarten students that enables teachers to show children how the world works for concepts that are not possible to illustrate in a classroom with actual objects. ATC includes computer activities and videos for children, and opportunities to view videos again at home (Home Links) provide the repeated experiences with language concepts and vocabulary that are necessary to language development. An additional component of the ATC intervention includes interactive, video-based professional development for teachers.

Data-Based Individualization (DBI): Intensive Intervention to Improve Mathematics Skills of Students With Disabilities

Data-Based Individualization (DBI) is an intensive intervention program that uses student data to determine when and how to adapt, intensify, and individualize interventions for students with severe and persistent mathematics learning needs, including students with disabilities. DBI involves a five-step process: (1) using a validated intervention program or platform aligned with the student's area of need, (2) monitoring progress using a valid and reliable assessment tool, (3) collecting additional diagnostic data to determine the student's instructional needs and hypothesize productive adaptations to the intervention program, (4) implementing the adaptation(s), and (5) continuing to monitor progress to determine response. DBI is typically implemented in a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and involves ongoing support and professional development for teachers to develop and increase their knowledge and ability to implement DBI in mathematics.

Lessons include two main segments: a 5-to 10-minute discussion using questions from the lesson plan, and a 5-minute video lesson. Instruction is delivered over eight weekly sessions, and teachers are encouraged to implement activities such as guided practice through songs, role play, and learning materials. The program incorporates a reinforcement system where students receive skill tickets, student-managed tally sheets, parent notes of skill achievement, and student certificates of mastery.
