EDU 603 Scientific Research-Based Intervention

Scientific research-based interventions (SRBI) is the practice of providing scientific, research-based instruction and intervention matched to students' needs, with important educational decisions based on students' levels of performance and learning rates over time. SRBI has emerged as a promising framework for meeting the challenges of today's classroom. While SRBI has emerged from special education legislation, the model's focus on early classroom-based interventions makes it primarily a general education initiative. In addition, SRBI is designed to ensure rigorous and intentional progress monitoring for all students, not just for those at risk of learning difficulties. Candidates will continue to expand their knowledge of SRBI while learning more about the implementation, instruction, and assessment in their own districts and buildings.
