High-Leverage Practices: Teaching Students with Disabilities--and All Students Who Need a Learning Boost

High-leverage practices (HLPs) are instructional approaches educators in K-12 can use to teach different types of learners and content. They are deemed "high leverage" because they are foundational to effective instruction, they help with managing and intervening in students' behavior, and they support successful implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (the legislation guaranteeing that students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate education with their nondisabled peers to the extent that is possible). This article describes two HLPs that are foundational for delivering effective instruction: (1) use explicit instruction; and (2) provide high-quality feedback. Research shows that teachers can use these two practices in general and special education classrooms to improve student outcomes. In addition, they are a great starting place for implementing other HLPs. In describing these two HLPs, the authors provide examples of how teachers might use them. A a list of resources teachers can use to support their implementation is also provided.
