Strand I, Session 1: RTI’s Framework and the Importance of Assessment
|
| Abstract: |
In this session, response to intervention (RTI) will be discussed as a succession of three “prevention” levels (each of which may subsume one or more “tiers”). The first two levels are the responsibility of general education; the third and most intensive level is special education. Advantages of a 3-level model, rather than a 4- or 5-level model, will be discussed, as will the different forms and purposes of assessment at each level. (11801)

Strand I, Session 2: RTI’s “Secondary Prevention”: Identification Versus Prevention; Standard Treatment Protocol Versus Problem Solving
|
| Abstract: |
Secondary prevention is the “pivotal” level in an response to intervention (RTI) framework. If conducted well, it can be both a means of early intervention and disability identification. Whereas some say it should be seen as only early intervention, an argument will be made that it should serve both purposes. Important implications for special education will be discussed. (11802)

Strand I, Session 3: RTI’s “Tertiary Prevention”: Special Education as the Most Intensive Instructional Level
|
| Abstract: |
Tertiary prevention will be explored in terms of a new concept of special education that requires it to provide individualized, databased, and recursive instruction to the most difficult-to-teach children in a school. Such a reconception of special education illustrates a “back-to-the-future” perspective; returning to child-by-child “clinical” instruction with cutting-edge knowledge of assessment and instruction.
