In this session, participants will understand the foundational structure of the RTI at Work model. This model was founded by Mike Mattos, Austin Buffum, and Janet Malone with an emphasis on high-quality universal instruction for every student while also putting in place safety nets for those that may need more time and support. In addition to the overview of the structure, participants will gain an understanding of how key tools (agendas, structures, protocols) can be used to enhance the work. Rob Meyer co-authored the text used as a foundation for this session.
