Cracker Barrels

One of the most consistent features of RtI implementation is questions.  Questions drive implementation (e.g. is our core curriculum effective?) and questions about implementation are inevitable.  This is one premise upon which this conference was founded: Implementers coming together to problem solve with implementers. 

This conference consistently has brought together the longest standing implementers and some of the country’s top experts in RtI to collaborate, network and help implementation sites move to the next level.  This year will be no different.  On the first night of the conference, Three 2-hour cracker barrel sessions will be held concurrently.  Each cracker barrel will be topical and will be led by leading experts in the country.  The agenda will be set by questions brought by conference participants who will have the opportunity to interact with these experts and the audience around the possible answers to their questions. 

Come with your hardest implementation questions.  You will not be disappointed!
