KS - High Leverage Practices for Special Education
Elkader KAEA March 24, 2026




High-leverage practices (HLPs) are a structured, systematic approach to teaching that involves clear, direct teaching of concepts and skills. “The idea that there is a relatively small set of key practices all educators should know and have in their toolbelt is not only logical, but it is connected immediately with overwhelmed teacher educators, professional development providers, and educators all struggling to learn and implement a seemingly endless list of evidence-based and other practices.” (CEDAR center). 

This High-Leverage Practices Professional Learning will provide educators with clear teaching strategies around collaboration, data-driven planning, instruction in behavior and academics, and intensify and intervene as needed. This comprehensive course is designed for PK-12 special education and general education teachers seeking to enhance their instructional practices through high-leverage practices. Participants will study and implement collaboration, data-driven planning, instruction in behavior and academics, and intensify and intervene.


Important Session Information:


Course Requirements: 

Participants engage in a case study supporting the bridge to practice; the case study will follow a specific student or small group as course participants implement strategies within the categories of collaboration, data-driven planning, instruction in behavior and academics, and intensify and intervene.

Participants will engage in a pre- and post-self-assessment to track their growth throughout the course.
