Strand D, Session 1: Embedding Data-Driven Decision Making in High School for Students With Disabilities
|
| Abstract: |
Data are playing an increasingly important role in the education of students with disabilities at the high school level. Some of this is no doubt due to the prominence that indicators now play in the federal and state monitoring under IDEA since the 2004 amendments. However, many secondary school innovations also incorporate data collection as a key feature of the program. This session will provide an overview of the indicator data that is being collected and also discuss the role data plays in some innovations that are currently receiving a great deal of attention in high school reform. This session will also serve as an introduction to the strand and the sessions that follow. (11797)

Strand D, Session 2: Designing Dropout Prevention Strategies and Using Readily Available Data to Promote Retention of Students With Disabilities
|
| Abstract: |
The high school dropout problem has been called a national crisis, particularly for students with disabilities. This session will explore effective, research-based dropout prevention strategies for students with disabilities that involve developing early warning systems regarding who is most likely to dropout, and reaching those students most likely to drop out with research-based interventions designed to keep them in school.

Strand D, Session 3: Identifying and Implementing Academic, Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Tiered Intervention Frameworks to Benefit All Students
|
| Abstract: |
State and local education agencies are grappling with how to implement tiered interventions, such as response to intervention and positive behavioral interventions and supports, at the secondary level. This session will highlight the attributes of the approaches, describe high school models, identify potential barriers to implementation, and highlight successes experienced by early implementers based on case studies and literature reviews conducted by the National High School Center and the National Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

Strand D, Session 4: Integrating the Needs of Students With Disabilities Into the Complex World of High School Reform
|
| Abstract: |
Often when high schools embark upon school reform, the needs of students with disabilities are not specifically accounted for, nor are the successful strategies used in special education generalized to benefit all students. This session will explore how comprehensive school reform efforts can be inclusive of all students focusing on issues of leadership, curriculum and instruction, professional development, and stakeholder involvement.
