Who Should Attend
Individuals at the district or building level with responsibilities to provide direct support for RtI implementation.
Description
This new strand is designed to explore issues related to coaching staff through various phases of RtI implementation. Using the NASDSE Blueprints for Implementation, presenters will provide strategies and troubleshooting related to consensus building, infrastructure development, and implementation. Examples and activities will address coaching practices that apply to RtI for both social and academic domains.
Note: This is not a beginner level session. The presenters will assume basic knowledge of RtI viewpoints and practices, including basic knowledge of using data in a problem-solving model.
Pre-requisites
Participants who register for this strand should have already had an overview of RtI and have a good understanding of the underlying practices and beliefs. It is highly recommended that members from the participant’s district and/or buildings are involved in other strands at the conference where the content is focused on decision making and using data. This session assumes decisions with RtI have, or are, being made and will direct attention to the role of the coach in supporting those decisions.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of training, participants will:
- Understand the role of a coach in supporting building-level RtI practices that increase student achievement
- Have practiced useful skills needed when working with a staff or individual around building consensus, infrastructure development, and implementation of RtI practices
- Have an expanded repertoire of strategies to use when providing support to colleagues at various levels of understanding and implementation with their practices
- Have created a network of other RtI Coaches that may be accessed after the conference to maintain momentum and support
