EDSP 470 - Response to Intervention Best Practices

4 Credit(s)

The purpose of this course is to prepare teachers to work cooperatively with school-based Response to Intervention (RTI) teams. As a result of reauthorization of IDEA (2004), RTI is now mandated. RTI is a process of providing general education adaptations to close the gap between struggling learners and their typical classmates. The purpose of RTI is also to identify children with learning disabilities who may be eligible for special education. Documentation of how a child responds to scientific, research-based interventions is part of the RTI process. Students will complete a variety of applied activities including micro-teaching using effective reading and math curricula and web-based notes.
