Response+to+Intervention

Rachel Brown-Chidsey provided Response to Intervention training to the District IST during the 2007-2008 school year. In addition, several special education teachers, administrators, and other interventionists received RTI orientation training in the spring of 2007.

IST members were given the text [|Response to Intervention: Principles and Strategies for Effective Practice], by Rachel Brown-Chidsey and Mark W. Steege. This book should be on your bookshelf. If you can't find it, contact your building IST or Haifa in the Office of Instructional Services. A [|PowerPoint presentation] of the Three-Tier RTI Model and RTI in 10 Easy Steps can be found at the publisher's website.

Dr. Brown-Chidsley suggests that each building's IST begins by joining with teachers to understand their needs. After developing a safe, collaborate environment, focus may shift to differentiating for all students. One of the tools we have been provided to do this is the Analysis of Student Work (NTC/UCSC). A variety of data sources may be used, including formative, benchmark, or standards-based assessments.

For more information, the [|National Center on Response to Intervention] has a very informative website about RTI.
