Drs. Melissa Luedtke and Karen Sorvaag of the Department of Education recently presented at ASCD’s annual conference in San Francisco.
Their presentation, titled, “Taking Pre-Service Teachers Through the RTI Process in the Field” detailed how engaging education majors in the RTI process beyond just an academic understanding can be a challenge. The presentation provided a description of a mutually beneficial RTI process involving elementary education pre-service teachers and K-8 students struggling with literacy. The steps of the process were described, task lists and rubrics were provided, and exemplars from the experience were shared. The session concluded with a discussion about RTI and pre-service teacher engagement.
