High-Leverage and Evidence-Based Practices: A Promising Pair for All Learners (Reading Rockets)

Description:

High-leverage practices (HLPs) and evidence-based practices (EBPs) when used together can become powerful tools for improving student outcomes. This brief is designed to show the promise of these practices in advancing educator preparation and practice and, subsequently, outcomes for students with disabilities and those who struggle. We begin by defining HLPs and EBPs and sharing examples of how educator preparation programs are integrating them in their candidates’ learning opportunities and conclude with an illustration of how they can be seamlessly integrated into instruction provided as part of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS).
