ii The current research on teacher classroom and remote learning environment EBPs for assessing students at risk for not attaining full literacy skills due to a disability, including dyslexia impacting reading or writing, or developmental delay impacting reading, writing, language processing, comprehension, or executive functioning. This should include the current research on screening assessments for dyslexia and other literacy-related disabilities that are evidence-based, psychometrically valid, free or low-cost, efficient to scale, and readily available for use; and iii The current research about adult learning principles in in-person and virtual settings and implementation science that will inform the proposed TA; and 5 Develop products or refine or update publicly available existing products and provide in-person and virtual services that are of high quality and sufficient intensity and duration to achieve the intended measurable outcomes of the proposed project. To address this requirement, the applicant must describe i How it proposes to identify or develop the knowledge base in teacher classroom and remote learning environment literacy instruction for students at risk of not attaining full literacy skills due to a disability;
ii Its proposed approach to universal, general TA, which must identify the intended recipients, including the type and number of recipients, that will receive the products and services under this approach;
iii Its proposed approach to targeted, specialized TA, which must identify A The intended recipients, including the type and number of recipients, that will receive the products and services under this approach, a description of new or existing publicly available products that may be used and services that the Center proposes to make available, and the expected impact of those products and services under this approach; and B Its proposed approach to measure the readiness of potential TA recipients to work with the project, assessing, at a minimum, their current infrastructure, available resources, and ability to build capacity at the local level; and iv Its proposed approach to intensive, sustained TA, which must identify A The intended recipients, including the type and number of recipients, that will receive the products and services, a description of new or existing publicly available products that may be used and services that the

Center proposes to make available, and the expected impact of those products and services under this approach;
B Its proposed approach to measure the readiness of the target audiences to work with the project, including their commitment to the initiative, alignment of the initiative to their needs, current infrastructure, available resources, and ability to build capacity at the SEA, REA, LEA, school, and early childhood education program levels;
C Its proposed plan for assisting SEAs, REAs, and LEAs to build or enhance in-person and virtual training systems that include capacity-building services and professional development based on adult learning principles and coaching; and D Its proposed plan for working with appropriate levels of the education system e.g., SEAs, regional TA
providers, districts, schools, early childhood education programs, families to ensure that there is communication between each level and that there are systems in place to support the use of teacher classroom and remote learning environment EBPs for literacy instruction;
6 Partner with the National Comprehensive Center and at least one of the other federally funded comprehensive centers, regional educational laboratories, equity assistance centers, OSEPand other related federally funded TA Centers, parent training and information and community parent resource centers funded by the Department and OSEP
e.g., Center for Parent Information and Resources and Parent Technical Assistance Centers, and other related organizations to refine or develop products and implement services that maximize efficiency. To address this requirement, the applicant must describe i How the proposed project will use technology to achieve the intended project outcomes;
ii With whom the proposed project will collaborate and the intended outcomes of this collaboration; and iii How the proposed project will use non-project resources to achieve the intended project outcomes; and 7 Develop a dissemination plan that describes how the applicant will systematically distribute information, products, and services to varied intended audiences, using a variety of in-person and virtual dissemination strategies, to promote awareness and use of the Centers products and services.
