Classroom teachers are the ‘first responders’ who provide intervention assistance to those students who struggle with academic skills. This workshop clarifies questions about the use of RTI interventions in general-education classrooms.

Participants learn an approach that gives general-education teachers the RTI tools to:

• define student academic and behavioral problems in clear, specific terms.
• select appropriate evidence-based interventions that can be used in general-education settings.
• calculate baseline, set intervention goals, and monitor the student’s progress on RTI intervention using classroom-friendly assessment methods such as Curriculum-Based Measurement, performance checklists, work products, and Daily Behavior Report Cards.
• record classroom interventions in a manner that fulfills all documentation requirements of RTI.
  This workshop will also provides a ‘starter set’ of intervention ideas in reading, math, writing, and study/organization skills that teachers can begin using in their classrooms right away.

NOTE: This workshop can be offered in an elementary-level version (grades K-6) or a secondary-level version (grades 7-12).
