CEU Course Description

Identifying and Supporting Students Through Early Intervention provides educators with the knowledge and practical tools necessary to recognize early signs of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional challenges and respond with timely, evidence-based support. The course emphasizes a proactive, prevention-focused mindset that moves beyond “wait to fail” models and instead promotes early identification, equitable practices, and structured systems of support within K–12 educational settings. Educators will explore the purpose and long-term benefits of early intervention, including its impact on academic achievement, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and overall school climate. Participants will gain a strong understanding of tiered systems of support, including Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and learn how high-quality Tier 1 instruction lays the foundation for effective intervention. The course also highlights how to recognize early warning signs across academic, behavioral, and mental health domains and use multiple sources of data to inform responsible decision-making. Participants will also learn strategies for collaborating effectively with families and multidisciplinary teams and for selecting and implementing evidence-based interventions tailored to individual student needs. Through this course, educators will develop the skills and confidence to identify concerns early, respond strategically, and create supportive learning environments that promote student success across academic, social, and emotional domains. Specifically, participants will learn about 1) the foundational principles and systems that guide effective early intervention in schools, 2) strategies for recognizing early warning signs and using data to inform identification and decision-making, and 3) approaches for collaborating with families and teams, and implementing evidence-based interventions that promote equitable student outcomes.
