RTI Summit: December 6-7, 2007

Overview

The RTI Summit is a collaborative effort among the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to assist SEAs with planning for the implementation of RTI. This is an invitational conference of 11-person teams from each state. The teams will be comprised of a combination of key stakeholders from the State Department of Education (6 members) as well as representatives from state affiliates from several national organizations/networks (5 members).

The purpose of this meeting is to provide training, information, and planning time for educational teams working on the implementation of early intervening services and response to intervention instructional approaches

The RTI Summit has three primary goals:

  1. To gather teams of key State education leaders and selected state affiliate organizations to learn about components and models of Response to Intervention (RTI).
  2. To assist States in scaling up comprehensive models of RTI in their schools and districts.
  3. To help States develop a state plan for implementing RTI and provide information about accessing various federal and state resources to assist with implementation.
