Hi. I am Jim Wright, the creator of Intervention Central. I present workshops on topics relating to academic and behavioral interventions, assessment, and implementation of Response to Intervention. I schedule my workshops directly with schools, districts, and organizations.Browse my workshop descriptions below. Unless otherwise specified, workshops are a full day (5-6 hours) in length. However, I can customize workshops upon request (for example, condensing 2 workshop topics into a single day's training). If you would like more information about a specific training, please email me at jimw13159@gmail.com.
