Conference Features

How does this conference work?
To date, most conferences dealing with RtI content have addressed information on what RtI is and how to get started. However, to do RtI within schools, there are specific skills that implementers must have. Indeed, there are far more skills needed than can be trained in any 2 day conference. It will not be possible to train them all, so we will not try. Instead, the conference will begin with a keynote. Then, participants will break into 7 strand groups. Each strand is designed to address a different facet of implementing RtI. The training will be activity-based and there will be many opportunities for interaction with the presenters and other participants. Moreover, participants will receive materials and products for application back home in their school.

Additional learning opportunities will be available in the form of cracker barrel presentations with national RtI leaders. Moreover, informal learning will be promoted by the networking with other implementers that is consistently promoted by this conference.

The following strands are available:

Strand 1: State Level Scaling Up and Implementation of RtI

Strand 2: Intermediate Building Level RtI Implementation

Strand 3: Intermediate District Level RtI Implementation

Strand 4: Advanced District Level RtI Implementation

Strand 5: Advanced Building Level RtI Implementation

Strand 6: Higher Education/Teacher Preparation Intermediate District-level Problem Solving

Strand 7: RtI Implementation at a Secondary Level
