Understand how to use the Response to Intervention (RtI) model

Discover how the Response to Intervention (RtI) model can help students experiencing learning challenges, as part of a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). Understand how it provides useful frameworks to guide and organise support for students with learning difficulties and SLDs.

Gain new assessment tools and learn to interpret key data

Explore a range of relevant assessment tools that can help in the diagnosis, intervention, and ongoing monitoring of students' learning across the tiers of the RtI model. Learn to interpret data and recommendations of specialist reports, and consider ways to make accommodations and adjustments to tasks to support students with SLDs.

Develop SMART goals to enhance literacy and numeracy learning

Learn how to understand and use assessment data to develop Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-bound (SMART) goals, which can help support literacy and numeracy learning, as well as the wellbeing of your students.

Put your knowledge into practice and get better student outcomes

Using a provided case scenario and data set, you'll put these strategies into practice to explain where a student would be situated within the RTI framework, and describe the assessment, progress-monitoring, and interventions needed to support the student's literacy or numeracy development. You'll also analyse and interpret a set of raw data and form SMART goals.
