High Leverage Practices in Special Education: Practices and Videos

Directions and log template:

In partnership with the Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability and Reform (CEEDAR), the Council for Exceptional Children has developed and published a set of High Leverage Practices (HLPs) for special educators and teacher candidates. The HLPs are organized around four aspects of practice:

· Collaboration

· Assessment

· Social/emotional/behavioral

· Instruction

See the introductory video at - https://youtu.be/y0iGKOq8UXk-

For your final field placement course, we will focus on instruction. https://highleveragepractices.org/instruction/

The HLP practices should be integrated in your lesson plans. The expectation is that you will be able to utilize these in your professional practice in the schools. When the faculty advisor comes to observe you in your school- they will be looking for evidence of these practices. There are 12 practices that you will be expected to use during your field placement course. You do NOT need to use all of these during each observation but you will keep a log of how and when you did use the practice.

For this assignment, you will keep a log of the practices that you have implemented in your teaching. This can be in daily instruction or in official observations. You will keep a log of the practice used and reflect upon it. You can add to the template as needed to include as much information as you choose to include (but at a minimum answer the questions in each box). Please make sure this assignment is typed and the attached template is used. The assignment will be uploaded to Canvas at the end of the course.
