Session Description
This session details how we used embedded, ongoing professional development for
special and general education interventionists in our school district to enhance reading
intervention instruction. We will detail the impetus and conception of the training and
how the training has supported a variety of school district employees including special
education teachers, general education interventionists, and administrators. Participants
will leave with ideas for how to incorporate an intensive reading intervention training
program for their school district.

Objectives:
Understand how phased professional development can enhance intensive reading
intervention training.
