RTI at Work Institute

The RTI at Work Institute is a pivotal event dedicated to enhancing educational practices through the implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). This institute addresses a crucial educational philosophy: instead of waiting for students to fall significantly behind before providing assistance, schools should proactively offer support to those who show a need. Attendees will have access to nationally recognized experts who have successfully navigated the implementation of RTI across various settings, often with limited resources. The focus will be on building a tiered system of supports that ensures all students can engage with essential academic standards while receiving the necessary interventions tailored to their individual needs.The sessions will feature interactive keynotes that delve into crafting effective intervention systems rooted in the principles of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Attendees will learn how to leverage collaborative teams and the four critical questions of the PLC process to create impactful interventions. Presenters will share evidence-based strategies on how to lead the RTI process at both site and district levels, emphasizing the importance of proactive identification of students needing help, effective placement in interventions, and ongoing monitoring of progress. The aim is to foster a collaborative culture within schools focused on student learning, utilizing common assessments to enhance core instruction and guide interventions. Notable speakers at the event include experts with extensive backgrounds in education, such as Cruz, PhD, a prominent thought leader with over 30 years of experience, and Mike Mattos, an internationally recognized author and presenter known for his work in transforming schools through RTI and PLCs. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a Solution Tree book co-op during the event, which will provide discounts on educational resources. The institute promises to empower educators with practical tools and insights, enabling them to implement effective RTI practices in their schools and districts. With feedback from past attendees highlighting the exceptional quality of the conference, participants can expect to gain a coherent and insightful understanding of RTI, ensuring they leave equipped with strategies that can be immediately applied in their educational settings. This institute is not only an opportunity for professional development but also a chance to connect with like-minded educators committed to improving student outcomes through systematic interventions.
