Five Essential Strategies for Distinguishing Core Instruction From Intervention

Tuesday, April 29, 2025

Join us for an engaging webinar exploring the critical differences between core instruction and intervention within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework. Core instruction provides universal, evidence-based, grade-level teaching for all students, while intervention targets specific skill gaps for selected learners through intensive, data-driven practices. Discover how these components work together to create a comprehensive system that ensures equity and addresses diverse student needs. We’ll cover five key strategies for distinguishing core from intervention, including determining what students need, pacing, focus, audience, and the use of evidence-based curricula. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding and improve student outcomes.

Attendees will learn:

• The key differences between core instruction and intervention, including focus, audience, and intensity
• Why more core instruction does not replace the need for intervention
• How core instruction ensures equity through evidence-based, grade-level teaching for all students
• The role of interventions in addressing specific skill gaps using targeted, data-driven strategies
• Practical insights about integrating universal screeners and diagnostic assessments to identify and support student needs
• Strategies for aligning evidence-based curricula to maximize the effectiveness of both core instruction and intervention
