Response to Intervention Assessment Strategies Seminars: Educators as Physicians

Schools across the country are adopting a new way of serving students using a process called Response to Intervention (RTI). In RTI models, educators are asked to administer increasing numbers of reading assessments in order to screen, diagnose and monitor students.

What You Will Learn

This seminar is designed to help teachers, reading
specialists, reading coaches, supervisors, and principals who are developing RTI assessment plans
take a close look at WHY various reading assessments are being used, HOW to select and administer the most time efficient and useful assessments, decide WHO should be assessed with each type of assessment, and—most importantly of all— understand how to USE the data to make key instructional decisions that can truly help us provide the best possible reading instruction to all students.

Just as physicians make health-care decisions using the best information available, educators must also use the best assessment tools to guide their decisions about students’ academic health and well being.
