How does Regie Routman in Residence support Response to Intervention?
Response to Intervention (RTI), a new federal initiative, was created during the recent reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The intent of RTI is to reduce the number of students who are classified with disabilities. In fact, RTI is a general-education initiative that is funded, in part, through special education funds. Regie Routman in Residence provides an excellent professional development answer to accomplishing the reduction of students needing special services. Because students who have access to good first teaching in the regular classroom are far less likely to need special education, both the school and district are better able to allocate both human and financial resources to the small percentage of students who need more intensive support. An added benefit is that fewer and fewer students have to leave the teachers who know them best and the supportive environment of their classrooms.
