The four key components highlighted in this video are the importance of using a logical sequence with lessons, providing clear models and explanations of content, providing multiple opportunities to respond and give appropriate feedback, and providing a range of examples and nonexamples to highlight the content being taught.

High-Leverage Practices in Special Education
How the videos are designed:
- Introduction and definition of each HLP
- Brief review of the research
- Several brief videos of general education and special education teachers implementing the practice
What the videos are:
- A resource to augment training/professional learning
- A demonstration of HLP practice across degrees of intensity
- A portrayal of teachers’ implementation of an HLP
- A demonstration of practices that can be used with all students, not only those with disabilities
What the videos are not:
- A complete resource for training/professional learning
