Don’t Miss this outstanding one-day Seminar!

Response to Intervention
“In the Trenches!”
Featuring Pat Quinn – “The RTI Guy!”

Finally, a one-day seminar that shows how to implement RTI in real classrooms with real students! Designed by teachers for teachers and any other educational personnel involved in implementing RTI.

Guaranteed to answer these questions:

• Where do I find Interventions?
• Where do I find the time to do interventions?
• How do I handle the paperwork and recordkeeping?
• How do I do Progress Monitoring for all of these students?

Please Read the Fine Print:

If you are looking for more theory about RTI – this is NOT the seminar for you. There are plenty of good seminars out there that will explain theoretically how Response to Intervention is supposed to work.

If you are looking for a seminar with real examples of real classrooms where RTI is working – this is the seminar for you. This is a realistic view of how RTI really looks in schools – and it is not always pretty…but it will help you implement Response to Intervention in your school.

This seminar is appropriate for all grade levels K-12 and will cover the use of RTI for both academic and behavioral purposes.

A note from Presenter Pat Quinn…

Greetings Fellow Educators…

Like many of you I quickly became frustrated with the lack of concrete strategies and techniques available for teachers who are trying to implement Response to Intervention in their classrooms. One weekend I read three books about RTI and I STILL didn’t know what I was supposed to do. I don’t think we need more theory – I think we need real answers to tough questions about time, resources and most importantly: where do I find good interventions?

This seminar is designed for real teachers in real classrooms. You know, the classroom with 35 kids of varying abilities. The classroom where you are expected to do it all – there is not help on the way. How does RTI look in that classroom? I will not only answer that question, but dozens of others I get every week from my newsletter readers. Questions about time management, handling paperwork, using RTI for eligibility purposes and many, many more.

Please join me for this day of sharing and learning!

Implementing Response to Intervention at your school does not have to be difficult and painful.

This session describes an RTI process that teachers will love, parents will appreciate, and students will benefit from.
NOTE: This session will not spend time discussing the history of RTI, the theory behind RTI, the legislation that mentions RTI or the reasons you should use RTI. This seminar is a practical, hands-on seminar filled with concrete steps you can take the next day to help students.

10:30 – 12:00 Intervention Techniques that Work (even with BIG Class Sizes!)
So how are we supposed to implement these interventions and teach our class at the same time? Great question – and this session will answer it! It will also show you where to find great interventions.
