JP's Janie Feinberg and Robert Harris will be presenting the inspirational session:

Adopting What Works from Around the World - An Intensive Reading Intervention in Singapore

For the last three years, the Special Education Branch of the Singapore Ministry of Education has been working with schools to implement intensive, phonics-based, English reading curricula for some of the nation's most challenged students. This session will describe the careful planning steps taken by the Ministry's leadership, provide details about the implementation and support systems put in place, and show the dramatic growth made by students with both mild and severe intellectual disabilities. Implications for applying this model to U.S. schools and districts will also be discussed. Participants will (1) learn the critical planning steps necessary for implementing a dramatic and intensive intervention model; (2) review and discuss student performance data, including the implications for students with limited English proficiency; and (3) discuss ways to adapt this highly successful intervention model in U.S. schools and districts.
