What:
Wide use of RTI/MTSS as a prevention framework in general education poses potential problems for unprepared special educators and their programs. For example, RTI as a schoolwide prevention framework is technically incompatible with traditional severe discrepancy models, which require students to experience academic failure prior to identification. This interactive workshop will address these types of concerns and provide recommendations for avoiding potential legal pitfalls associated with RTI implementation.

Getting Clear on Response to Intervention (RTI) - National Dissemination Center for Chi... - 0 views
-
There seems to be some confusion as to what Response to Intervention is and how teachers and schools can use this approach to help children. So, let’s start with some basics: RTI is not an action verb. You cannot RTI a student to support his or her learning and behavioral needs. RTI is not a place or a room in your school; you cannot send a student to the RTI room. So what exactly is RTI, then? RTI was added to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 2004 and became part of the nation’s approach to identifying and helping students who are struggling academically or behaviorally in school. It is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs. Struggling learners are provided with interventions at increasing levels of intensity to accelerate their rate of learning, and you, general education teachers, special educators, and specialists, provide th0se services.
Ensuring the Fidelity of the "I" in RtI - Webinar - Oct. 28, 2013 - 0 views
-
Register for this event
What:
A multi-tier system of supports that uses students' response to intervention to determine progress and to inform instructional decisions requires that the instruction and interventions that are delivered be implemented with high degrees of fidelity to achieve meaningful student outcomes. Fidelity of implementation or "treatment integrity" is a critical element of the RtI process. Join Dr. Christina Marco-Fies during our next RTI Talk as she answers your questions about how to determine the level of treatment integrity to ensure an intervention is implemented as planned, intended, or originally designed.

RTI Implementation: Developing Effective Schedules at the Elementary Level - Webinar - ... - 0 views

What: Join us for this free webinar entitled "RTI Implementation: Developing Effective Schedules at the Elementary Level." One of the key components of an effective RTI model is the development of schedules that maximize the time, resources, and personnel available within a school. This webinar will address issues surrounding the development of effective schedules for the implementation of RTI at the elementary level. Scheduling of core instruction, intervention time, team meetings, and planning will all be addressed. Dr. Alexandra Hilt-Panahon and Dr. Karen Gischlar, our presenters for this webinar, both have experience working with schools to develop schedules at initial implementation of RTI as well as across time. Recommendations for efficient, effective, and sustainable schedules will be provided. What topics will be discussed? Issues related to the development of effective schedules for the implementation of RTI at the elementary level, including the scheduling of core instruction, intervention time, team meetings, and planning. Recommendations for efficient, effective, and sustainable schedules. Who will benefit from this Webinar? Teachers, administrators, and technical assistance providers seeking more information about developing effective schedules for the implementation of RTI at the elementary level.
The RTI Ruckus: What Special Education Advocates Need to Know - Webinar - Nov. 2, 2011 - 0 views
-
Click here to register for this webinar What: The rapid growth in adoption of "Response to Intervention" across the nation's public schools, sparked in large measure by changes to IDEA's identification procedures for specific learning disabilities, is raising issues of compliance with IDEA's Child Find mandate. Specifically, under IDEA (2004), school districts are no longer required to use a discrepancy model when determining eligibility, but instead, may use alternative means (e.g., response-to-intervention (RTI) or processing deficit approaches) to identify students. Consequently, significant variability among states in the SLD identification criteria now exists. The implementation of new criteria - particularly RTI - may result in delay or failure to properly identify students as eligible for IDEA services. This Webinar will present the latest information on RTI adoption across states and the use of RTI for SLD identification. It will review recent challenges, including litigation, and provide guidance on an array of practical advocacy options that can be used to capitalize on the RTI process-to help struggling students regardless of whether they are suspected of having SLD-and deal with the delay or denial of access to special education potentially posed by RTI. Time will be provided for questions from participants. When: Wednesday, November 2, 2011 12:00pm - 1:30pm Mountain

What:
Training for school teams from schools which have already received basic RtI training through local, regional or state projects. At this training school teams will be using school wide data to assess the effectiveness of school intervention efforts. Using student outcome performance data as well as process evidence and indicators to determine the school's current status in implementing RtI. Using information to develop action steps for each participating school to enhance and improve their RtI implementation. To receive maximum benefit from this training, participants need to bring school wide benchmark data for at least the current school year and, if possible, prior years as well.

Response to Intervention / Response to Instruction (RTI): New Ways to Identify Specific... - 0 views

What is Response to Intervention? How will these new practices affect struggling children who have not yet been identified with specific learning disabilities? How will this affect the millions of children who have been identified with specific learning disabilities and who are receiving special education services? The devil is in the details. The success of Response to Intervention (RTI) will depend on whether it is appropriately implemented by highly-trained professionals - and this is likely to be a problem.

What:
Response to Intervention (RTI) is our best hope to ensure high levels of learning for all children. RTI's underlying premise is that schools should not delay providing help for struggling students until they fall far enough behind to qualify for special education, but instead should provide timely, targeted, systematic interventions to all students who demonstrate need. Understand why RTI is most effective when implemented on the foundation of a Professional Learning Community (PLC). Learn how to create three tiers of interventions-from basic to intensive-to address student learning gaps and how to make RTI work in your school.
