RICHLAND, WA – Educational Service District (ESD) 123 and Richland School District are proud to announce their very first RTI Professional Learning Community Conference on August 24 and 25 from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Richland High School.
"PLC's and RTI: Making the Connection" is a two-day, in-depth workshop that creates a compelling vision of what can be achieved when a school takes responsibility for the success of every child and responds collectively when students don't learn.
Response to Intervention, or RTI, is a multi-level state prevention system intended to maximize student achievement while reducing behavior problems. The program allows schools to identify students who are at risk for poor learning outcomes or have learning disabilities. Schools then monitor the progress of these students and provide evidence-based interventions.
ESD Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning, Dr. Bob Smart, describes the RTI Conference as "an exciting and very timely high quality, regional professional development opportunity."
Smart says, "We anticipate this being an excellent event each year, and it is emblematic of the partnering and collaborative efforts of professional development that we are including in not only our strategic priorities but also in the Richland School District's priorities as well."
