Write a paper summarizing eight high-leverage practices (HLPs) as defined by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC). Essentially, HLPs are educational practices that all special educators should know how to do. These practices are evidence-based, meaning that when successfully implemented, can improve results for struggling learners. The CEC has identified twenty-two high-leverage practices in the broad areas of collaboration, assessment, social/emotional/behavioral, and instruction. You will write a summary of the following HLPs:
HLP #7: Consistent Learning Environment
HLP #8 and #22: Feedback
HLP #12: Systematically Design Instruction
HLP #13: Make Adaptations Final
HLP #16: Explicit Instruction
HLP #17: Use Flexible Grouping
HLP #18: Student Engagement
HLP #20: Provide Intensive Instruction
Use the following website to learn more about the targeted HLPs: https://highleveragepractices.org/a-professional-development-guide-for-school-leaders/ (Links to an external site.)
Once you have read about each of the eight HLPs indicated above and watched the corresponding videos, you will write a summary of each. Then, you will write an action plan outlining how you plan to incorporate each of the eight HLPs in your current, or future, classroom setting.
