Ensuring a comprehensive and coherent instructional program is essential for student success. RtI provides a framework for ensuring that students receive the level and type of instruction they need for academic success. However, to ensure that English language learners will benefit from instruction in an RtI framework assessment and instruction practices must respond to both their academic and language needs.

Lecture, case studies, and interactive activities will be used.
Objectives:
• Participants will learn effective instructional and assessment practices.
