ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a brief introduction of IRIS and describe the outcomes of the 325T projects, all of which incorporated IRIS resources and services. The IRIS Center is a national center dedicated to improving education outcomes for all children and students, including struggling learners and those with disabilities. IRIS's mission is to build the capacity of higher education faculty and PD providers by producing engaging and interactive learning materials and by assisting both faculty and PD providers to integrate these resources about evidence-based practices across coursework, endorsement curricula, and PD activities. The Center provides tiered training and technical assistance that helps faculty use coursework planning forms and other tools to develop or revise curricula in credential or endorsement areas. IRIS also provides comparable assistance for the infusion of evidence-based instructional and intervention practices into education coursework. The range of IRIS services continues to expand as the Center evolves to meet consumer demands.
