[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”MTSS/RTI: Response to Instruction and Intervention Institute” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]This focused CORE institute is designed to lay the foundation for the implementation of a Response to Instruction/Intervention (RtI)/ MTSS system PK–12 that support the Common Core and other State Standards. Based on years of research and informed by the research of Dr. Mark Shinn, schools and districts will learn how to design a multi-tiered model with appropriate prevention and intervention materials, assessments, and processes to ensure regular education and special education services meet the needs of students. The RtI/MTSS 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.

Note:  This institute is designed for districts/school leadership teams new to RtI and multi-tier systems. Following this institute, and for schools/districts already knowledgeable about multi-tier models, CORE offers expert technical assistance on site to design and implement your own RtI system. Call for details.

Participant Outcomes:

  • Explain RtI and MTSS model.
  • Learn different assessment processes for different purposes.
