Consulting▪
Training activities focus on RTI implementation ranging from introductory workshops on RTI to assisting districts with planning for and initiating RTI. Consulting services include customizing an RTI plan for states, regions or districts to meet specialized needs, troubleshooting RTI problems, as well as grant and program evaluation.
Projects have included:
- Collaborating with a large suburban district to tweak their existing RTI model because it was not delivering the results principals were demanding.
- Collaboration with a state department of education team to design and implement a customized state RTI model. Included planning and conducting statewide training for districts.
- Partnering with state regional centers and cooperatives on a process that begins with awareness training for districts and leads to full implementation for participating districts.
- Consulting with a large publishing company on improving implementation of a specific intervention.
- Consulting with a state in which districts were using various assessment systems (e.g., DIBELS, Aimsweb) to situate those assessments within a comprehensive RTI system that could better utilize the assessments to determine student needs and an appropriate intervention for students who did not benchmark.
- Providing training to a small district lacking in resources where the staff wore “many hats” to streamline RTI and make it work with limited resources and many challenging students.
- Providing training and consultation to Federal Comprehensive Centers to assist them in planning and delivering RTI related supports and resources to states in their regions.
- Customizing or developing web based data management services for screening and progress monitoring related to RTI.
- Working with a publishing company to develop customized RTI web based training and video.
