During this webinar, Dr. Kristen McMaster provided an overview of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM), including the purpose, a brief description of research, and a demonstration of how CBM data can be used to monitor student progress.
RTI in Middle Schools (58:39)
This webinar, led by Dr. Daryl Mellard and Sara Prewett, provided an overview of current RTI practices in middle schools across the nation. The webinar also included information about how selected schools are implementing RTI in the middle grades. Topics discussed include: implementation and the planning process, common practices in screening, progress monitoring, and tiered instruction, staff preparation, data-based decision making, challenges, and next steps for RTI implementation in secondary settings.
RTI Implementation: Developing Effective Schedules at the Elementary Level (56:47)
This webinar, led by Dr. Alexandra Hilt-Panahon and Dr. Karen Gischlar offered recommendations for efficient, effective, and sustainable schedules. It also addressed issues related to the development of effective schedules for the implementation of RTI at the elementary level, including the scheduling of core instruction, intervention time, team meetings, and planning. Teachers, administrators, and technical assistance providers seeking more information about developing effective schedules for the implementation of RTI at the elementary level will find this webinar beneficial.
Planning for the Implementation of RTI: Examples from the MP3 Model Demonstration Project Webinar Follow Up (55:42)
Watch the recording and view the presentation slides that were presented by Dr. Edward Shapiro. This webinar provided state educational agencies with a description of the process the Monitoring the Progress of Pennsylvania's Pupils (MP3) project used to diagnose schools' readiness to implement RTI and assess their professional development needs.

Progress Monitoring: Dalton Gardens Elementary School
This 2006 presentation describes the use of DIBELS in progress monitoring at Dalton Gardens Elementary School, Idaho. This case study explains the process for implementation and the process for providing interventions for students that are not making progress using a tiered framework. This resource was presented by Brandi Meade at the National SEA Conference on SLD Determination.All of the conference sessions can be found here.
Three Tier Reading Project
This April 2006 presentation discusses the 3-Tier Reading Model project that aims to expand the knowledge base on preventing reading disabilities through effective early reading instruction and improving early and appropriate placement in special education. It was presented by the Del Valle ISD in conjunction with the Vaughn Gross Center for Reading and Language Arts and released by the Access Center.
The Prevention and Identification of Reading Disability
This 2006 presentation explains a study that used a 2-tier model (not including special education) in first grade, exploring RTI as a means of preventing and identifying reading disabilities. It was presented by Douglas Fuchs, Donald L. Compton, Lynn S. Fuchs, and Joan D. Bryant and released by National Research Center on Learning Disabilities.
