Notes

Abstract:
The present study sheds light on the importance of increasing teachers’ perceptions of ease and control related to implementing reading interventions. Implications include focusing on developing a positive sense of control and self-efficacy in providing interventions through continued training and increasing access to materials. Due to recent changes in educational laws related to the identification of students with disabilities, it is imperative for teachers to be willing and able to provide research-based interventions to struggling students. A problem-solving team of educational professionals, access to intervention techniques and materials, and staff development training opportunities are all necessary supports to aid teachers in implementing interventions designed to foster learning in all children.
