This presentation helped to demystify the Response to Intervention (RTI) process and enabled effective building of collaborative relationships. The tools provided in this presentation aimed to reduce workloads to decrease unnecessary referrals and to increase support within the schools.
Tangible steps are described to make this a reality on your caseload. The greatest difficulties that educational professionals face are presented. The history of RTI (Response to Intervention) is discussed so that we can gain perspective on how to positively influence it. A case study exhibiting the use of over 40 referral documents is followed to demonstrate the ease and power of collaborating with teachers.
Participants will be able to:
View RTI from a broad perspective
Introduce a macro approach to looking at the results of RTI and further driving accurate assessment
Evaluate the make-up of students in special education
Show how RTI can reduce caseload work, better identify students, and reduce special education spending
