Middle and High School Response to Intervention


This webinar will provide training on the STEEP RTI process for middle and high schools. The primary focus will be on RTI for reading. Participants will first learn to conduct and interpret universal screening. Next, participants will learn a standard protocol for interpreting screening data, indentifying students who need intervention, determining an appropriate intervention, setting up progress monitoring, and interpreting progress monitoring data. This standard protocol follows and easy to use six step process which increases the ease and accuracy of decision-making. Interventions appropriate for middle and high school students will be described. Although the primary focus will be on RTI for reading, the math assessment and intervention process will be reviewed briefly.
