Making RTI Work at the Middle and High School Level
  
Workshop Description
To be effective at the middle and high school level, Response to Intervention (RTI) must be tailored to accommodate, compartmentalized instruction, highly demanding curriculum expectations, complex schedules--and students who are approaching adulthood and have a significant voice in their own educational program.
 
 
This workshop presents an RTI problem-solving model specifically designed for the realities of secondary school settings. Participants review a core collection of academic and behavioral intervention ideas and progress-monitoring methods that can realistically be used in middle and high school settings. The RTI Secondary School model also includes a streamlined and flexible intervention team problem-solving process, as well as strategies to motivate struggling learners in secondary grades to become invested in their intervention plans. All workshop ideas are tied to a three-tier 'Response to Intervention' framework now being widely adopted in schools across the nation.

  • understand the steps required to establish and run a middle or high school building-based RTI ‘Intervention Team’.
  • know methods for monitoring the progress of secondary-level academic and behavioral interventions.
  • be familiar with a core set of research-based ‘Tier I’ academic and behavioral interventions appropriate for use in secondary classrooms.
