File Attachment:
Summary: The California Military Institute requests approval for the following staff members to attend the Response to Intervention (RTI) at Work Institute in New Orleans, Louisiana, December 5-7, 2023: - Dr. Rebecca Beigle, Assistant Principal - Dr. Savan Prak, Assistant Principal - Gail Collins, Counselor - Dr. Heather Peterson, Academic Coach - Vishal Raju, Teacher - Allison Miller, Teacher - Luis Valdovinos, Teacher (Please note that this is the final list of attendees; however, if needed, a participant may be substituted due to unforeseen circumstances.) This institute will ask the fundamental question, "What does a successful response to intervention (RTI) or multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) look like when all the pieces come together?" The underlying premise of RTI and MTSS is that schools should only delay providing help for struggling students once they fall far behind in qualifying for special education. Instead, they should provide timely, targeted, and systematic interventions to all students who demonstrate the need. With unprecedented access to nationally recognized experts who have successfully implemented RTI in a variety of settings—often with limited personnel and dwindling resources—the participant will learn how to create a tiered system of supports that includes: - Tier 1 core instruction that ensures all students have access to a rigorous, essential grade-level curriculum, highly effective teaching, and embedded academic and behavioral support. - Tier 2 supplemental interventions that support students in a grade-level curriculum, immediate prerequisite skills, and academic and social behavior expectations. - Tier 3 intensive interventions that develop foundational prerequisite academic skills (reading, numeracy, writing, and English language) and behaviors without removing students from the essential grade-level curriculum.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2023-24 operating budget funded through Charter Title I Funds, not the Charter General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the out-of-state conference request for seven California Military Institute staff members to attend the Solution Tree Response to Intervention at Work Institute in New Orleans, Louisiana, December 5-7, 2023.
