Discussion points for workshop participants include: Documenting the existence or nonexistence of a learning disability Using RTI techniques to benefit students who are economically underprivileged and/or culturally and linguistically diverse Assuring treatment fidelity using research-supported curriculum Gathering data to make informed instructional decisions for students Presenting vignettes and examples that illustrate the problem-solving strengths of RTI techniques, this multimedia kit includes: The companion book, Response to Intervention, providing the foundational framework for implementing RTI in the classroom A 42-minute, content-rich VHS video that features William N. Bender and Cara Shores, along with administrators and teachers who demonstrate how RTI methods meet the needs of all students in inclusive classrooms A companion DVD with navigational menus and bullets for easy stop-and-search control of the video content A step-by-step Facilitator's Guide that connects the core content of the book to both the video and DVD and includes video/DVD segment prompts, workshop outlines, extended workshop activities, discussion questions, and key points
