Navigating the Maze of RtI
"trying to follow in the footsteps of the masters, but it's a lot harder than it looks because even though they had the same size feet as us, they weren't looking down the whole time while they walked to make sure they were doing it right" ~ Brian Andreas
Wouldn't it be great if there were footsteps you could follow in the maze we know as the Response to Intervention (RtI) implementation process? Of course, it isn't that simple, but TEPSA has some tools that will help. Several Summer Conference presenters offered great insight on key components of the RtI implementation process.
