Response to Intervention Overview Video

Posted by Beth DuBose on Oct 10, 2008

I came across a great video on You Tube that can provide those districts that are just starting to develop their RTI process with some great information on how PA has implemented their process. The video takes the viewer through the key components of RTI and how they are being addressed in PA. They show you how they have a team of people going into the classroom to do Universal Screenings through DIBELS. They discuss what they have identified as their 3-Tier model, and how it is being implemented in the schools. You get to see the small group interventions in action. You also get to hear and see what is discussed among the intervention team. They show teachers working with students and doing progress monitoring. There are interviews with everyone from the Superintendent to the students, including how the Special Education and General Education departments are working together to have a successful RTI program.

Of course, the specifics that they have developed for their RTI process meets their needs in PA, but might not meet the needs of every district. But, the basic overview infomation is what we are seeing across the nation. This video is a great real-life scenario video that can provide districts with a great starting place when developing their own Response to Intervention model.
