Promoting Teacher Use of the Supports Intensity Scale-Children's Version to Engage in Supports Planning to Enhance Access to the General Education Curriculum for Children with Intellectual Disability

Project Description

This project will develop the Supports Intensity Scale - Children’s Version (SIS-C) Supports Planning Process, an associated Teacher’s Manual, and an online Fidelity of Implementation System that will enhance the knowledge and skills of teachers to use the results of a completed SIS-C assessment to design supplementary aids and services to promote access to the general education curriculum for students with intellectual disability (ID). The SIS-C was the first standardized measure of supports needs of children with ID, developed with a previous IES Goal 5 Measurement grant (co-PIs: Hughes, Thompson, & Wehmeyer; 2011-2015). Educators need tools and strategies to enhance their knowledge and skills to use SIS-C assessment data to inform supports planning for students with ID in general education.
