- [Narrator] Welcome to our new series
on High-Leverage Practices, also known as HLPs
for students with disabilities.
The purpose of this series is to introduce
each HLP and provide a brief demonstration of each practice.
It would be amazing if viewers could watch this series
and walk away knowing everything they need to
about the HLPs,
but that isn't realistic or even our purpose.
Instead, this video series is one tool at your disposal
when learning about these critical practices
during coursework, professional development
and other independent learning.
Learning about the HLPs takes commitment,
hard work and lots of practice in the classroom.
This video is split into two parts.
First, we introduce and define HLPs.
Second, we provide a roadmap
for the remainder of the videos in this series
and highlight other available resources.
Part one, what are HLPs?
In many schools, students with disabilities
can comprise over 10% of the student body.
This means it is likely that every teacher
will have responsibility for supporting the unique needs
of these students.
All teachers, therefore need a repertoire
of effective teaching practices.
The goal is to ensure all students
receive meaningful access to,
and make appropriate progress within
the general education curriculum.
The Individualized Education Plan
spells out the relevant placements and supports
for students with disabilities.
This is where the High-Leverage Practices come in.
The HLPs are practices that are foundational
to effective teaching.
These are practices we want graduates
of teacher education programs
and then in-service teachers to use on a regular basis.
Please note that HLPs are intended to complement,
not replace intense, data-driven interventions
provided by special educators and other specialists
to students with disabilities.
HLPs must be fundamental to effective teaching,
used frequently by teachers,
cut across instructional content,
apply to many age levels and different types of learners,
and improve student outcomes.
A key component of HLPs
is they can be broken down into component parts
so teachers can learn to implement them with fidelity.
HLPs are appropriate for most students.
Not only those with disabilities.
This means general and special education teachers,
regardless of grade level or instructional setting
could use these practices to support students
in addition to their existing repertoire of intense,
data-driven interventions.
Many HLPs are necessary
for implementing evidence-based practices effectively.
For example, providing high quality feedback
is a component of many HLPs.
And some HLPs are evidence-based practices
such as use explicit instruction,
or conduct functional behavioral assessments.
Part two, road map for this video series.
We conclude with a look forward
to what viewers can expect from this video series.
There are 22 HLPs divided across four broad domains.
Collaboration, assessment,
social emotional behavioral and instruction.
A brief video introducing each HLP is available
on www.highleveragepractices.org
and on the CEEDAR center website.
Each video contains a definition of the HLP,
a brief review of research supporting its use
and several short exemplar videos
from general and special education teachers
implementing the practice.
The sample videos are drawn from real teachers
implementing HLPs with intensity matched
to the unique learning or social needs
of their students with and without IEPs.
The videos help illustrate content included
in the High-Leverage Practice book
available from CEC and on the CEEDAR center website.
However, the videos are not a substitute for the HLP book
or other professional learning opportunities.
To accompany each video,
additional resources are available.
These resources include additional video clips
demonstrating each HLP,
prompts for reflection and discussion
and links to other relevant resources including the
National Center for Intensive Intervention website.
It is our mission to help professionals learn about
and implement the HLPs.
Therefore we hope you take advantage of these free resources
and then go forth to succeed on behalf of children with
and without disabilities.
Thanks for watching, and again
welcome to our new series on High-Leverage Practices
for special education.
