RTI Considerations for School Leaders
Posted by Beth DuBose on Oct 23, 2008
The IRIS Center for Training Enhancements, a development of the Peabody School of Vanderbilt University, has created a video series on Response to Intervention. Their latest installment, RTI: Considerations for School Leaders, talks about what principals need to consider when creating and implementing their RTI process. In this module, a short, illustrated video is used together with a multi-page, step-by-step presentation to highlight the numerous components involved in an effective, school-wide RTI adoption.
The video follows the journey of fictional principal, Mr. Rodney Irwin, as he goes through the process of implementing an RTI process in his school. The module offers 
some fundamental questions for principals to consider prior to RTI implementation. The questions are followed by "answers" and detailed explanations of the many steps a principal must take to ensure successful RTI adoption. In addition, suggestions and strategies are provided to assist those principals looking to implement RTI in their own buildings.
