- discussion regarding the role that assessments play in determining not only interventions, but how to "tweak" Tier 1 ELA and and/or core class instruction to integrate more science of reading practices
- examination of strategies that all content area teachers can use to help students across content in all classes
- exploration of various models of support - how schools are striving to meet the needs of students in a secondary setting - the who, when, where and how
