Importance of Universal Screening in Academics and Behavior

In this pathway, educators learn how universal screening fits into the larger picture of assessment in a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). Essential components of universal screening measures are discussed. In addition, considerations for screening emergent bilingual students are explored and examples of universal screeners in academics and behavior are presented. Special considerations for dyslexia screening are also included.

Coaching Support Included

This training includes a coaching component delivered by experts at each regional education service center to help educators apply what they’ve learned with confidence and fidelity. Coaching provides personalized, job‑embedded support grounded in four research‑based practices proven to strengthen instruction: alliance-building, observation, modeling, and performance feedback.

Educators and coaches complete a three‑step coaching cycle—pre‑observation, observation, and performance feedback—to reinforce training content and improve implementation. Coaching is designed to fit flexibly into your existing schedule and enhance your work, not add to it.
