Speakers
:
Building an RtI Infrastructure
An overview of Bamber Valley’s intervention team model by a panel of Bamber Valley intervention team members and the building principal.  Bamber Valley Elementary School in Rochester was selected to participate in the Minnesota RtI Center Coaching Cohort for Response to Intervention Implementation. These practitioners will speak about implementing an RtI model and the benefits they received. Hear about the problem solving process, organizational framework and data based decision making.

Study Island

Sarah Williams will be sharing how we will be able to meet students needs in the areas of Reading, Math and Science through the use of Study Island (finalizing her appearance). Please be prepared to share how you have integrated RtI as well as Study Island if your school is participating these two opportunities.  We’d enjoy hearing how it works in the schools!
