Many interventions promise strong results, but do they have the components of an effective intervention? In this session, we provide an in-depth explanation of the five components of an effective intervention and share how they are supported by research. We demonstrate each component using reading intervention examples so that participants understand why they are critical for ensuring student learning. Having knowledge of the effective intervention components provides educators with the tools to determine appropriate and effective pathways for student success. Participants will receive resources to guide them in implementing interventions that include all five components of an effective intervention.
