RtI was born out of the reauthorization of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and is often conceptualized as the pathway to special education; however, the RtI model supports every student needing something outside of the standard norm (with or without technical qualifications). Participants explore the foundations of RtI with a gifted education lens, and apply this knowledge to effective student programming. This session also outlines an individual school model used to integrate RtI and gifted education, while providing suggestions to fit other systems already in place.
