How does your school respond when students don’t learn? Compelling evidence shows that response to intervention successfully engages a school’s staff in a collective process to provide every child with the additional time and support they need to learn at high levels. Yet, at many schools, this potential lies dormant, buried under layers of state regulations, district protocols, misguided priorities, and traditional school practices misaligned to the essential elements of RTI. This session shows how the PLC at Work process creates the larger, schoolwide framework required to implement a highly effective, multitiered system of supports. Outcomes from this session include: • Understanding the guiding principles behind a multitiered system of interventions • Learning essential actions that collaborative teams must complete at Tier 1 to respond when students don’t learn effectively • Prioritizing resources to address academic and behavior interventions • Beginning the process of creating a pyramid of interventions
