Live Chat Today: What does RTI mean for the classroom? |
|
RTI seems to be the hottest buzzword in education these days. People throw it around all the time, but I'm never 100% sure what it is. I mean, I know the definition and the general concept, but if I had to tell someone how a teacher USES the RTI approach.... well, let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
That should change this afternoon. Teacher Magazine is hosting a live chat today with RTI expert Doug Fuchs and Judy Elliott. If you're like me and you need some extra RTI intervention of your own, check it out. Can't make it, submit a question ahead of time and check in with me for a rundown.
Here's the newsletter info:
What Does RTI Mean for the Classroom?
When: Thursday, Nov. 13, 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern
Where: http://www.edweek-chat.org/
Submit questions in advance.
Response to intervention is the process of identifying and addressing student learning needs with a tiered approach to early intervention. RTI has been used most frequently with reading instruction, but it has also been stretched to include additional subjects in middle and high school classrooms. Despite its growing use, however, there is no clear answer for how best to implement RTI.
What should a successful RTI model look like? What are the roles of the general education teacher, the special education teacher, and the school psychologist in the RTI process? What are the challenges? What must an administrator know to encourage staff buy-in? Where does current research stand on the effectiveness of RTI? Our guests will answer your questions about RTI and how it plays out in the classroom.
Hope to virtually see you there!
