A key goal of responsive programs is to be aware of areas where each child has individual learning needs and match the type and amount of instruction we provide. This takes careful planning and happens through an ongoing process. In Head Start programs, we call this cycle Teach-Assess-Adjust. It means providing individualized instruction, collecting data about how a child responds, and using that data to adjust supports. Join this webinar to explore how disabilities services coordinators can help education staff use the Teach-Assess-Adjust cycle to ensure children receive the level of support they need to keep learning.

This webinar is offered with English and Spanish captioning.
