Highly structured environments allow for teachers to implement evidence based practices in the special education classroom. As we know, implementing EBPs is key to helping students learn and thrive. That is why the CORE is designed around evidence based practices. The CORE contains elements and systems that when put in place, allow us to provide meaningful instruction that's individualized for our students while automating processes and systems in our classroom so we can focus more on our students.

In this episode, I am diving into the different components of the CORE, how they are beneficial, and using evidence based practice with autism classrooms. If you’d like a deeper analysis of how we use the CORE as well as checklists and tools to help you implement it in your classroom, check out the Special Educator Academy.
