The two-day coaching workshop will be presented by Sarah Brown and Cheryl Risen of the Heartland Area Education Agency in Iowa. Both Sarah and Cheryl have extensive experience in the implementation of RtI, the coaching process, and professional development with adult learners. Topics to be covered during this two-day workshop include developing and delivering effective presentations for adult learners, strategies to manage the change process, and tools, tips, and lessons learned for RtI Coaches. *Participants at this workshop should be RtI coaches/facilitators or an equivalent position. The presenters will assume the audience has a broad understanding of RtI and will be focusing on how to coach teams and facilitate change.*
Participants will be expected to attend BOTH days! One key difference from the MS/HS workshop: we are NOT wanting TEAMS of people to sign up. This workshop is geared for RtI facilitators, coordinators, coaches, etc. Thus, it may be common for ONE person from a district or co-op to sign up.

In this conference, participants will:
Learn essential aspects of the ISBE procedures and criteria for determining eligibility and entitlement within an RtI framework.
Learn how the procedures and criteria are applied to the IEP process, using case examples at the elementary and high school levels.
Understand how to document information on ISBE’s IEP forms.
Discuss some of the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) related to Eligibility and Entitlement and their relevance to practice.
Analyze your current system for documenting determinant factors and exclusionary and inclusionary criteria.
Review resources and plan next steps for implementation.
