Get the guidance you need to implement response to intervention (RTI) in your school district. RTI is a multitiered approach to helping struggling learners early and effectively so they avoid failure and succeed in school. This web workshop presents five lessons from leading experts in RTI, focusing on the basics of RTI, caseload/workload issues, disproportionality of culturally and linguistically diverse children in special education, the use of RTI for learning disability (LD) identification, a communication framework for IEP teams using RTI, and the use of RTI by SLPs at the secondary level. Practical advice, case studies, and observations by leading practitioners in RTI are provided to enhance your learning.

Five 1-hour, pre-recorded lessons available on demand:

Lesson 1: Response to Intervention: Helping Children Succeed
Lesson 2: Using Early Intervening Services and RTI to Address Disproportionality
Lesson 3: Response to Intervention (RTI) and LD Identification
