Step #1:
Recognize and Identify the presence of a need
Action-Driven Approach: Step #1
Empower all educators to recognize the presence of a barrier, a student’s need, in their classroom. Because all classrooms are different, barriers may be present in one setting while not in others, so empowering all educators with this skill set is essential. But recognizing a barrier is only the start of the process, so…

Step #2:
Work the child through their need
Action-Driven Approach: Step #2
…educators and parents need to know how to move the child’s need(s). We eliminate a child’s need by guiding a process that improves their skills in areas where they struggle. We do this with well-developed IEP goals, planning explicit need-based instruction for pull-out instructional time, and creating unique opportunities to refine and rehearse those skills in inclusive environments.

to learn without it being a barrier. This is where just-right accommodations are important because they enable the child to engage in class, instruction, and assessment by empowering them around their need! Accomods by Action Driven Education helps you find the perfect just-right accommodation that is aligned to the child’s need, fits a teacher’s unique instructional environment, and uses the child’s strengths as leverage.

Step #4:
Monitor through efforts with instructional data
Action-Driven Approach: Step #4
Effective need-based efforts are verified by collecting instructional data that shows steady progress toward clearly stated outcomes. When a child’s skills are lagging, we must be creative to take full advantage of every opportunity to provide explicit instruction that’s directly aligned with their need. To avoid a loss of valuable instructional time, our laser-focused efforts to improve a child’s need-related skills must be verified with data!

Step #5:
Verify the effectiveness of around efforts
Action-Driven Approach: Step #5
The impact of just-right accommodations should be seen quickly but also monitored to verify their ongoing effectiveness. As the child grows and their skills improve, the variables that define just-right also change. Besides, teachers are busy, so the best way to save the time it takes to provide support is by ensuring it’s not being wasted, and data provides that proof!
