How can school and district leaders establish the conditions needed for educators to successfully implement data-based individualization (DBI) for students with the most intensive needs? To help put the pieces in place for the next school year, NCII held a free webinar, Planning for Success: Building Readiness to Implement Data-Based Individualization, on May 2, 2024 at 4:00 pm ET. Readiness involves identifying needs, establishing shared goals and plans for DBI, enhancing buy-in, addressing barriers, and reviewing and securing resources, among other topics. Assessing and developing readiness may save time, resources, and effort when implementing DBI. In this webinar, Dr. Zachary Weingarten, Product Development Coordinator at NCII and Dr. Steve Goodman, NCII Advisor, highlighted key recommendations to build readiness to implement DBI.  Amy McConnell, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for the Hood River County School District in Oregon shared examples and lessons learned from their experiences supporting DBI implementation.
