Critical to a sustainable RTI program, says Wayne, is a school-wide approach rather than an individual approach to assessment,intervention and problem-solving. This ensures there is a system in place for identifying students who need support and for providing them with effective interventions without delay. Wayne highlights the importance of establishing both protocols and a problem-solving culture.

CONFERENCE TOPICS: In this 2-hour webinar, Wayne will discuss many RTI do's and don'ts including:

• The problems with a one-student-at-a-time approach
• Why RTI should not be left to special education but should be the responsibility of all education departments
• How to avoid being overwhelmed by data
• How to use data effectively to guide decisions by establishing data meetings and using data walls.
• The instructional approaches that yield the most signficant outcomes for struggling students
• Why it's important to emphasize evaluation of systems rather than students

Participants will have plenty of time to ask questions online about areas of particular concern. Wayne also will provide a list of resources for more exploration of this important subject.
