Abstract

This article serves as an introduction to the special series, Data-Based Instruction and Decision-Making: An International Perspective . In this series, we bring together international researchers from both special and general education to address teachers' use (or non-use) of data for instructional decision making. Via this special series, we aim to increase understanding of the challenges involved in teachers' data-based instructional decision making for students with or at-risk for learning disabilities, and to further the development of approaches for improving teachers' ability to plan, adjust, and adapt instruction in response to data.
