    Summary: 
    Response to Intervention is uniquely implemented in each district.  This session is designed to enable the participant to examine the philosophy of RTI development and implementation that best matches their local practices.  Participants will be asked to share the guidelines and process of RTI in their district and to identify challenges of RTI implementation.  Time to develop a problem solving approach to the challenges will be included.
    The session will be developed around the following principles:

            •    RTI is a process, not a document.
            •    Understanding district philosophies about special education and intervention are paramount               to the successful design of a local RTI model.
            •    Skills/content included in tiered instruction should be clearly identified.
            •    Analysis of data and is the foundation of tiered instruction.
            •    Time is a critical element in the implementation of RTI.
            •    District standards for student performance must be established.
            •    Student performance using classroom interventions must be documented.
            •    Consistency and communication are underlying attributes of successful RTI implementation.
            •    RTI development and implementation is a journey and must be monitored and reviewed.
