Innovative Response to Intervention Practices

Day 1
RtI: General Academic Interventions for Difficult-to-Teach Students
Students who struggle academically often require individualized interventions carefully tailored to their areas of academic deficit. Indeed, effective academic interventions can be thought of as the foundation that supports the entire structure of Response to Intervention. This workshop provides educators with useful conceptual Tools—such as the Instructional Hierarchy, the Learn Unit and the Schoolwork Motivation Assessment—that will aid them in matching
struggling learners to the right interventions. The training then reviews the three key academic domains: reading, mathematics, and writing. For each academic domain, participants learn about common 'stumbling blocks' that can prevent students from achieving success and review a sampling of effective, classroom-friendly, research-based interventions. All intervention ideas are tied to the three-tier 'Response to Intervention' framework now being widely adopted in schools across the nation.
 

Day 2
Math Interventions for Instruction

Workshop participants will received a series of specific individualized interventions to support at-risk students in grades K-6 who need targeted interventions in the development of 'number sense' and math computation, as well as strategies to solve word problems and correctly employ higher-level math operations. Workshop interventions are tied to the three-tier 'Response to Intervention' (RtI) framework now being widely adopted in schools across the nation. Workshop participants learn about the key foundation skills and concepts required for success in mathematics and practice using a math-skills  checklist to assist them in identifying individual students' barriers to success in math. The workshop also provides efficient and effective methods for monitoring students' in various math sub-skills, including 'number sense', math computation, and higher-level problem-solving skills. Participants also review a range of helpful Internet resources for school-based math assessment and intervention.
