Data-based Decision Making: Assessment and Intervention for Students with Reading Disabilities

3 Credits

This course will examine and critique systems of assessments used to identify students at-risk or with reading disabilities, determine areas of strengths and needed support, and evaluate intervention effectiveness in order to adapt and improve instruction. Emphasis will be placed on understanding dyslexia and other specific reading disabilities, as well as the use of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered System of Supports frameworks to engage in systematic data-based decision-making and instruction for students in need of supplemental intervention.
