Featuring Will Richardson, Educational Technology Specialist and
Dr. Douglas Fisher, English Language Learners/Response to Intervention Specialist
Studies show that integrated technology, professional learning communities and Response to Intervention are crucial components that help K-12 students learn and achieve at high levels – but how do you successfully combine these elements to reach all students, including students with disabilities and English learners? Choose from over 100 sessions on these topics and more:
Integrated Technology
See how free or low-cost tools and strategies can engage students through project-based learning and student-generated content, and engage staff by streamlining instruction, assessment, data analysis and collaboration.
Professional Learning Communities
Understand how collaboration, assessment and intervention work in a PLC that is implementing RTI and how leadership teams can build cultural momentum despite resistance. Explore examples of master scheduling, data and assessment, common planning time, and team dynamics.
Response to Intervention
Delve deeper into school-wide RTI systems and classroom-based differentiated instruction (DI). Hear from experts and educators who have effectively used RTI and DI to better support all students and raise API scores.
