Book excerpt: This toolkit provides activities and resources to assist practitioners in designing and delivering intensive interventions in reading and mathematics for K-12 students with significant learning difficulties and disabilities. Grounded in research, this toolkit is based on the Center on Instruction's "Intensive Interventions for Students Struggling in Reading and Mathematics: A Practice Guide." Although this toolkit is intended primarily for classroom teachers, regional comprehensive centers, state departments of education, and other technical assistance providers might find that the tools and structured activities enhance their professional development sessions. In addition, teacher educators might apply these activities and tools in their work with preservice teachers. This toolkit includes the following resources: (1) a professional development activity that illustrates how to intensify instructional delivery within interventions; (2) an intervention planning worksheet that (a) guides practitioners through recommendations and considerations for intensifying interventions and (b) asks practitioners to record specific actions they will use to intensify interventions; (3) a lesson reflection template for teachers to reflect on the instruction they provided during a particular intervention session and outline improvements for subsequent sessions; and (4) a matrix of supplemental resources that practitioners can consult to extend learning about particular aspects of intensive interventions.
