Identifying students in need of early intervention and special education services has always been a challenge. Now educators can use Response-to-Intervention (RTI) approaches to identify students who don’t respond adequately to regular classroom instruction and who may need further intervention. But how?

During this 90-minute recorded audio conference, Dr. Craig Albers explains the relationship between progress monitoring systems and RTI models. You learn how to use progress monitoring procedures to determine the response in RTI models and whether a student is responding to the intervention.

You and your entire staff will learn the definition, essential components, and benefits of a progress monitoring system. You also find out how to design and implement progress monitoring procedures, including the necessary resources and tools. Plus, you discover how to use progress monitoring to:

• Identify students whose academic performance is on target and those who may need additional intervention supports
• Make objective decisions about needed modifications to instruction, curriculum or intervention plans
• Provide students with clear expectations for their performance and continuous feedback about their progress
• Determine if the student is “responding” or whether a more intensive intervention is needed
