What are the four domains of high-leverage practices (HLPs)?

• A. Collaboration, Assessment, Social/Emotional and Behavioral Support, Instruction.
• B. Planning, Reading, Writing, Speaking.
• C. Assessment, Curriculum, Instruction, Management.
• D. Collaboration, Instruction, Assessment, Scheduling.

Answer: (A)

High-leverage practices are organized into four core areas that guide effective teaching and collaboration for students, especially those with diverse needs. The four domains are Collaboration, Assessment, Social/Emotional and Behavioral Support, and Instruction.

Collaboration focuses on working with families, specialists, and other educators to plan, implement, and reflect on supports for students. Assessment covers using data and evidence to monitor progress, inform decisions, and tailor instruction. Social/Emotional and Behavioral Support emphasizes creating safe, supportive environments and teaching strategies that promote positive behavior and emotional wellbeing. Instruction centers on delivering high-quality, engaging, and accessible teaching that meets students where they are and helps them reach targets.

Other options mix in important elements like planning, reading, writing, speaking, curriculum, management, or scheduling, but those are not the defined four domains of HLPs.
