Beyond RTI: Increasing Literacy Achievement with Reading Across the Content Areas
This course will support educator’s efforts to increase literacy achievement. Preparing 21st Century learners
requires interventions that boost the skills of struggling readers, but it is equally important to implement teaching and
learning strategies that support the development of deep comprehension of all texts.
RTI
Interventions: Building Comprehension in Grades 3-12
Decoding and fluency are only part
of the puzzle for building comprehension. This session will explore research-based comprehension strategies, along with ideas
for explicitly teaching them. Examples of comprehension interventions, along with specific ideas for scaffolding instruction,
will be shared. Evaluate assessment data to determine a focus for intervention and discuss ways comprehension can be supported
in core instruction. Performing well on state assessments requires more than recall. Increasing achievement means teaching
for deep comprehension.
Strong Core Literacy Instruction: The Fab 5 in Grades 3-12
No matter how your district has implemented Response to Intervention, core instruction will more than likely become
a focus of your initiative. Beyond aligning curriculum and adopting new textbooks that implement components identified by
the National Reading Panel, daily instruction should include effective strategies to reach all learners. Strong core instruction
includes research-based strategies to get all learners actively engaged in learning. This session will not only explore “The
Fab 5,” it will provide high-yield activities for implementing them. Time will also be given to reflect on assessment
data, develop school improvement goals and determine professional development topics.
Supporting
RTI with Digital Tools: Technology Integration in Core Instruction & Interventions
Put
your technology dollars to work! Beyond entering data to create charts and graphs, technology is a powerful tool for learning.
This session will help you make the most of the hardware and software you already have, along with considerations for future
purchases. See examples of assessment data and specific examples of interventions using free tools. Explore best practices
for integrating technology into core instruction.
