Response to Intervention (RTI) and the Connections to Neurodevelopment
Presenters

Leigh Burgess (Primary)
Implementation Manager
All Kinds of Minds
Description
In this interactive presentation, Leigh Burgess, Implementation Manager for All Kinds of Minds, will showcase the connections between RTI and neurodevelopment by highlighting multiple programs and their potential impact on student learning. Each program will be viewed through a neurodevelopmental lens, including: Schools Attuned, Differentiated Instruction, Understanding by Design, and Critical Friends Groups. This Online Event also will highlight how RTI is being used in several states and how each of the highlighted programs complement a neurodevelopmental understanding of learning variation among struggling learners.
The purpose of the Schools Attuned Program was to equip teams of educators with new knowledge, skills, and strategies so that sound, defensible professional judgments can be made about instructional practices with struggling learners. This is one of several programs that was highlighted. Other programs included Understanding by Design™ and Critical Friends Groups.

Our district is so rural that it is difficult to attend a lot of trainings. This format allowed me to attend without 2-5 hours of travel one way. THANKS.
