HLP/TPE Alignment Resource

HLP 20: Provide intensive instruction.

Match the intensity of instruction to the intensity of the student’s learning and behavioral challenges. Intensive instruction involves working with students with similar needs on a small number of high priority, clearly defined skills or concepts critical to academic success. Group students based on common learning needs; clearly define learning goals; and use systematic, explicit, and well-paced instruction. Frequently monitor students’ progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Within intensive instruction, students have many opportunities to respond and receive immediate, corrective feedback with teachers and peers to practice what they are learning.
