High-Leverage Practices (HLPs) for Students with Disabilities (CEEDAR & CEC): Information, Resources & Videos

Description:

High-Leverage Practices for Students with Disabilities: Information, Resources & Videos - In partnership with the Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability and Reform (CEEDAR), the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) has developed and published a set of high leverage practices (HLPs) for teachers of students with disabilities. The HLPs are organized around four aspects of practice: Collaboration, Assessment, Social/Emotional/Behavioral and Instruction. 

These resources are intended to be used as professional learning activities for educators to increase their knowledge, understanding, and use of the HLPs for students with disabilities.

High-Leverage Practices for Students with Disabilities- Revised and Updated

In this revised text, the High-Leverage Practices for Students with Disabilities (2nd Edition) are revised and updated to reflect the challenges of modern classrooms. A core addition is interpretation and analysis of how the HLPs work together (as compared to individual, standalone practices), and alongside evidence-based practices to improve teacher practice and student outcomes. Authors also introduce the terms pillar and embedded HLPs. Pillar practices are six key HLPs that are most foundational for teaching and learning drawn from the reconfigured domains (Collaboration, Data-Driven Planning, Instruction in Behavior and Academics, and Intensify and Intervene as Needed). Embedded practices are the remaining original 16 HLPs that are core to supporting effectiveness of the pillars.
