Time: 3:00-4:15 p.m. Central Time

Location: Virtual

Description: Join REL Southwest for a free webinar on effective classroom practices that general education teachers can use to increase access to core curriculum and instruction for students with low-incidence disabilities. In this interactive webinar, participants will hear an expert overview by Tessie Bailey, PhD, principal technical assistance consultant at American Institutes for Research. Dr. Bailey will provide background information, including legislation, regulations, definitions, an introduction to high-leverage practices, and the research base for this work. Afterward, Nicole Pyle, PhD, associate professor at Utah State University, will present a deep dive on three high-leverage practices that teachers can use easily and actions they can take in lesson planning and delivery. A question-and-answer session with Dr. Bailey and Dr. Pyle will follow. Finally, Portia Bradford, a teacher from Louisiana Key Academy, will discuss and reflect on their experience implementing similar practices. The webinar will conclude with another question-and-answer session.

Audience: This webinar is designed for a national audience of practitioners, regular and special-needs teachers, counselors, central office staff, school-level leadership, and teacher preparation program faculty.
