High-Leverage Practices
The term “high-leverage practice” and its corresponding definition emerged in general education more than ten years ago (Ball & Forzani, 2011; Grossman et al., 2009; McDonald et al., 2013). In partnership with the Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability, and Reform (CEEDAR) Center, the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) developed and published a set of high-leverage practices (HLPs) for special educators and teacher candidates.
The HLPs are organized into four domains: Collaboration, Data-Driven Planning, Instruction in Behavior and Academics, and Intensify and Intervene as Needed. Each domain has pillars and embedded practices infused with culturally inclusive pedagogies.
