Join us for this free webinar entitled "<strong><span style='font-family:
"Verdana","sans-serif"'>RTI for English Language Learners (ELLs): Appropriate
Screening, Progress Monitoring, and Instructional Planning</span></strong>."
This presentation focuses on improving educational outcomes for ELLs through
culturally and linguistically responsive implementation of an RTI framework
in elementary reading. Specifically, presenters will discuss critical
considerations to appropriately use screening and progress monitoring data to
improve reading outcomes for ELLs. The presentation addresses the factors
that influence ELLs' academic success and provides information about the
selection and use of screening and progress monitoring data based on
students' unique backgrounds and needs. A case study of a first grade ELL
student illustrates the recommendations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
