RTI in Early Childhood webinar series
How can you use RTI to help improve young children's outcomes?
Learn about the role of tiered intervention in bolstering social-emotional, behavioral, and academic development.
Explore our RTI in Early Childhood webinar series to learn about:
- progress monitoring and RTI,
- tiered instruction in early childhood settings (specifically with dual language learners),
- embedded instruction to support early learning in RTI frameworks,
- preschool inclusion and RTI for children with disabilities, and
- statewide structures and supports for effectively implementing an early childhood RTI system
Progress monitoring measures have come to the forefront of educational assessment with the emergence of RTI frameworks for identification of children with learning difficulties. The CIRCLE-Phonological Awareness, Language, and Literacy System (C-PALLS)—a progress monitoring tool for pre-K classrooms—is recognized to be strong predictor of academic success in kindergarten. In this webinar, learn how C-PALLS informs effective instructional practices for at-risk students, and helps ensure that the classroom teacher can provide quality instructional supports to all children in the classroom.
