English Learners and Effective Response to Intervention (RTI) Strategies
July 31-August 1, 2018
Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC

The Response to Intervention (RTI) process is designed to assist in the identification of all students who are in need of additional support in the classroom and school environment. These students may include those who are working to acquire English as a second language, those who may have undiagnosed learning and attention issues, or those who may need help due to interrupted schooling or frequent absences.

During this two-day informative workshop, participants will examine the steps of the RTI process that assist in the identification of students in need of additional support in the classroom and school environment; identify the process for the development of an RTI plan that will promote students’ academic as well as linguistic success; examine the steps for differentiating among typical second language acquisition, learning difficulties, cultural differences & influences and issues for students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). Participants will review instructional practices that support teachers’ implementation of RTI plans in the classroom; discuss with colleagues and team members the processes for monitoring and documenting student progress; and explore issues that challenge the practice of correctly identifying and assessing English learners with learning disabilities.
