The Response to Intervention model can help schools to improve student performance in mathematics and writing. This workshop reviews the essential elements of the RTI model and extends it to cover mathematics and writing for grades K-8.
The full-day training includes:
- a review of research on effective math and writing instruction and intervention.
- methods for conducting school-wide math and writing screenings.
- examples of math and writing interventions at Tiers 1, 2, and 3.
- guidance to schools on how to locate additional appropriate intervention ideas and programs.
- advice on how to set specific student performance goals in math and writing, as well as methods of progress-monitoring.
- a review of intervention case studies for individual students that illustrate how the RTI process actually works for math and writing issues.
Participants will also be provided with strategies for helping general-education teachers to use math and writing intervention ideas effectively in the classroom.
As a result of attending this workshop, participants will:
- evaluate and select appropriate school-wide screening tools for math and writing.
- select a range of appropriate intervention ideas and programs for math and writing intervention at Tiers 1 through 3.
- choose methods of progress-monitoring for math and writing interventions, as well as formulate specific student performance goals.
- start to develop district-wide decision rules for judging whether a student is adequately responding to math and writing interventions.
