The 'Response to Intervention' (RTI) model has been widely adopted by elementary schools across the nation as a proactive way to respond to students with academic or behavioral concerns. This full-day workshop provides participants with an overview of RTI and an explanation of how this framework can better support students with academic or behavioral challenges.
In the RTI model, a student in general education that begins to experience difficulties is given one or more evidence-based interventions.
As a result of attending this workshop, participants will:
- describe key components of RTI, including staff understanding and support; a multi-tiered continuum of interventions; methods of schoolwide screening; and RTI Problem-Solving Teams.
- describe the importance of problem definition, goal-setting, evidence-based interventions, and data collection as essential elements of student intervention plans.
- outline the essential ‘first steps’ necessary to implement RTI successfully in a school.
- access free assessment and intervention resources on the Internet to support RTI.
