Description
Throughout the world of exceptional student education, the latest buzzwords are Response to Intervention (RtI). Although RtI has grown up as a means to address the academic and behavioral needs of struggling students, some states have put forth the concept of RtI as a vehicle for addressing the learning needs of the gifted. How can RtI in gifted education move beyond a bare-bones conceptual framework to a working model? Attend this session and learn more about one large urban school district's journey into RtI for gifted.
