NEA supporting increased knowledge of RTI

According to Education Week, the NEA recently hosted a symposium designed to introduce educators to RTI after a web survey on the RTI Action Network, a program of the National Center for Learning Disabilities, reported that 80% of the respondents reported their knowledge of RTI as "minimal to none".

There are a number of resources on the NEA's website to help teachers learn more about RTI and to share some of the research that supports it. The NEA plans to produce a summary report of the symposium. An NEA link to Clark County, Nevada's system-wide effort is here.

The RTI Action Network hosts a number of discussion boards on its Web site. They also have a section, Voices from the Field which features several case studies of schools and districts that have instituted RTI programs.
