Aligned with the SDI Framework, this professional development supports teachers and providers in diagnosing, designing, and delivering effective specially designed instruction through the use of evidence-based tools and processes, aiming to improve the outcomes of preschool learners in inclusive settings.

This course is open to classroom teams in Year 3 of the Preschool SDI cohort who have already completed the required courses in Year 1 and 2.

Embedded learning is a foundation of this course so that students have multiple opportunities to engage across the daily setting and routines. However, students may also need individualized instruction in specific skills and intensified instruction to progress toward grade level standards. Participants will examine fidelity tools, professional learning materials, supports for coaching practices, and action planning to promote high-quality specially designed instruction using DEC recommended practices. The Year 3 courses digs deeper into instructional strategies, meaningful IEP development, progress monitoring, andDEC recommended practices. Practice profiles are used for fidelity of instructional strategies.
