This year-long course provides K-6 educators with the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and skill in designing and implementing small group interventions for students experiencing difficulty in literacy learning.  The course will focus on differentiating reading and writing instruction within a range of settings, including classroom and supplemental contexts in accord with a Response to Intervention (RtI) framework.  In order to help all educators respond to the unique needs of a diverse range of struggling learners, the course will include techniques for using intervention team meetings to select appropriate services, collaborating with teachers across intervention programs and using assessments to monitor student progress.
