Design Principles for Accelerating Student Learning with High-Impact Tutoring (updated June 2024)
Category: Student Learning
Instrument Overview
This resource will help preservice and in-service teachers reflect on and assess how well they are implementing high-leverage practices (HLPs) for students with disabilities. In the tool, teachers and teacher candidates can self-assess on all 22 HLPs or target only specific HLPs. The content for this self-assessment is based on the HLP resources developed in the last several years (e.g., HLP videos, HLP Leadership Guides, and Practice-Based Learning Opportunities). The goals of this tool are as follows: To provide a resource that teacher candidates and in-service teachers can use to self assess and reflect on their use of HLPs. To provide teacher candidates, faculty, in-service teachers, and administrators data on HLP implementation that can be used to guide professional learning and supports. To provide a broad measure on the ability of teacher candidates and in-service teachers to implement HLPs, which can serve as a basis of discussion with faculty and administrators. This tool has four sections to represent the four areas of practice: (1) Collaboration; (2) Assessment; (3) Social/Emotional/Behavioral, and (4) Instructional. Teachers respond to the probes across the HLPs to indicate their understanding and use of HLPs in their classrooms using the following scale: 5 = Mastered. I already apply this skill to my work and have noted improvements in student learning. 4 = I can apply this skill to my work with some confidence. 3 = Making progress. I am just beginning to understand how to apply this skill to my work. 2 = I believe this concept and/or skill is important but do not yet understand how to apply it in my classroom. 1 = I am unfamiliar with this principle or element. N/A = Not applicable
