Getting the Most Out of Classwide Intervention

Amanda VanderHeyden - REGENCY Getting the most out of classwide intervention (All levels) MTSS is a model that promotes growth for all learners and produces a dataset that can be used to inform future instructional actions. When risk is high, classwide math intervention is a necessary feature of MTSS (Tier 1.5) that has the effect of lowering overall risk (i.e., improving overall proficiency), closing opportunity gaps, and providing much more accurate identification of students needing more intensive intervention. Classwide intervention produces a strong incremental cost effectiveness ratio meaning that it produces benefit to all students in a highly efficient way. This session will detail key scientific findings pertinent to classwide math intervention in MTSS. Effects on learning and specifically closing of equity gaps will be shared. Attendees will take away tactics to try right away in their own settings and web-based resources to start their own work to adopt science-based math instruction within their MTSS structures. Free print and video resources will be provided. Presented by Amanda VanDerHeyden (2025)
