Updated Website: Center on Response to Intervention

3/2014

The American Institutes for Research (AIR) ran the National Center on Response to Intervention (NCRTI) from 2007-2012 with a grant from the Office of Special Education Programs. When the Center’s federal funding ended in 2012, AIR took over upkeep and maintenance of the Center’s website and products.

The website’s updated look reflects this change, but products developed under the NCRTI name continue to be available and free to the public. We have, however, reorganized our site to make products easier for users to search and find.

Please note that as a result of revisions to the website, links embedded within documents may no longer be correct. To ensure you are able to access supplemental or related materials search by the title of the document on the website.

Response to Intervention in Early Childhood (RTI-EC) | npdci.fpg.unc.edu

Posted on by

In a matter of a few short years, RTI has become a familiar phrase in the early childhood field. Because RTI is an emerging practice, it is critical that the early childhood field has a reliable source of information as programs begin to define and implement these practices. Representatives of three national organizations (The Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC), the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and the National Head Start Association (NHSA)) participated in a process for developing guidance to the field. This included gathering national input from multiple sources (listening sessions, national experts, work groups). The National Professional Development Center on Inclusion (NPDCI) facilitated that process from September 2009 to December 2011, and developed a concept paper on RTI-EC that reflects the work completed during that time period.

This 80-minute webcast features a stimulating conversation with key experts on  the role RTI can play in child development through high quality instruction and targeted interventions matched to children’s learning needs.

Forum Description:  As educators across the country move toward implementing Response to Intervention (RTI) in early childhood settings, they face many questions about the steps they should take to ensure effective implementation. In this webinar, four nationally recognized experts  in RTI provide sound guidance on establishing multi-tiered systems of support for young children, with an overview of the essential components of RTI, new instructional strategies, policy considerations, emerging approaches to measurement and the supports needed for success.
