The RTI for English Learners virtual institute is a cost-effective and schedule-friendly way for educators to develop an understanding of a multi-tiered model of intervention for English learners in an online environment.
Participants will work to identify critical success factors and barriers to effective RTI implementation and how to use the SIOP® Model to provide research-based instruction through live discussions, classroom videos, and more. It's a powerful new learning model for educators with limited time or budget for travel.
About the RTI for English Learners Virtual Institute
This 4-week institute consists of 8 sessions in which participants complete a series of assignments on their own schedule as well meeting as a virtual group to collaborate, discuss, and share information with their colleagues. The four live sessions are led by an expert in the topic, and one session is devoted to a question and answer session with the authors.
About the SIOP® Model
Based on years of research, the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP®) Model is a scientifically-validated framework for improving the academic achievement of English learners. Developed by Dr. Jana Echevarría, Dr. MaryEllen Vogt and Dr. Deborah Short, the SIOP® Model assists more than 450,000 educators in U.S. schools, providing administrators, specialists, coordinators and teachers with a practical, research-driven model of sheltered instruction.
