Response to Instruction and Intervention: Preventing Failure and Accelerating Achievement - NEW!
This newest CORE institute is designed to lay the foundation for the implementation of a Response to Intervention or Response to Instruction system for K–12. Based on years of research and informed by the research of Dr. Mark Shinn, schools and districts will learn how to design a three-tiered model with appropriate prevention and intervention materials, assessment, and processes to ensure regular education and special education services meet the needs of students. The RtI model replaces the outmoded “wait to fail” method of identifying students for special education services after it is too late. Participants at the three-day institute will learn what comprises the three tiers, what types of assessments are necessary to make this model work, how to determine core, supplemental and intervention materials, and guidelines for establishing a problem-solving approach and setting up teams. Through case studies participants will apply the techniques and processes they learn each day.
Following this institute, CORE offers expert technical assistance on site to design and implement your own RtI system. Download the flyer or call CORE at 888-249-6155 for more information.
