From Data to Decisions: A Framework for Targeted Instructions

A 1-hour training to help you confidently assess, group, and support students, using a clear, flexible framework that turns data into action.

Every student learns differently, but without a clear process for identifying literacy needs, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start or how to group effectively. This training provides a step-by-step system to bring clarity and confidence to your instructional decisions.

This 1-Hour Virtual Professional Development Training

will give you a 7-step framework to go from screening to instruction. You’ll walk away with practical tools to identify student needs, group by skill targets, and track progress, so every minute of instruction is targeted and meaningful.

This framework has been used in classrooms, intervention groups, private tutoring, and special education settings. It’s research-aligned, MTSS-friendly, and flexible enough to adapt to real-life teaching conditions.
