MARCH 3, 2020 - Registration is OPEN NOW!!
Is it me, or should we all go buy a lottery ticket today? We are going to learn so much from Dr. Miciak. Please read below to find out exactly what Dr. Miciak will share with us on March 3, 2020.
Session Description:
Progress Monitoring is an essential component in an MTSS Framework, but is often misunderstood. Dr. Miciak will situate assessment for progress monitoring within the broader purpose of assessment in MTSS, comparing and contrasting with other assessment types including screening, diagnostic assessment, and comprehensive assessment for disability identification (Full and Individual Evaluations). Session participants will come to understand the importance of routine progress monitoring of at-risk students to facilitate valid educational decision-making. Data Based Individualization (DBI) represents a framework for decision-making around intervention intensity for individual students with persistent learning difficulties. The validity of this decision-making process relies on appropriate administration and interpretation of underlying progress monitoring data.
Dr. Jeremy Miciak, Assistant Research Professor at the Texas Center for Learning Disabilities and in the Department of Psychology at the University of Houston, conducts research concerning learning disabilities and risks. He applies a special emphasis on issues of identification and intervention in diverse cultural and linguistic settings. Dr. Miciak earned his doctorate in special education from the University of Texas at Austin and has served as principal investigator and/or co-investigator on multiple grants funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Institute of Education Sciences
