Overview
The goal of the 2009–2010 Building Capacity for Response to Intervention (RtI) Implementation Project is to provide information to educators who are implementing RtI to prevent learning difficulties in reading, mathematics, and behavior.
Major activities for the project include the following:
- Develop and disseminate RtI implementation information and resources for Texas educators and parents;
- Develop a resource to assist assessment personnel in documenting RtI when conducting student evaluations for special education eligibility;
- Maintain and update a Web site as a professional development resource for school leaders, educators, and parents; and
- Collaborate with TEA to conduct the 2010 statewide RtI implementation conference.
