Response to Intervention
Reconnect to Mike Mattos and his message
We went around the table and shared RTI success and challenges by district.
RTI at the elementary level seems to be much farther along than at the secondary level.
Elementary schools are increasingly focusing on Tier 1.
Many elementary schools have built in common intervention time. Some middle-level schools are trying, too.
It was noted that Mike Mattos will be here at the PLCs at Work Institute in August.
OCM BOCES is trying to host an RTI at Work Institute in the future.
