RTI Chat Nov. 13

My colleagues at TeacherMagazine.org are hosting an online chat Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. eastern time on response to intervention. Both of the guests are great: Judy Elliott, now the chief academic officer for the Los Angeles Unified School District and a longtime practitioner of response to intervention, and Douglas Fuchs, a longtime researcher on the topic.

I had a chance to interview both Elliott and Fuchs for a story I wrote about response to intervention that ran in January.

No special equipment is needed to follow the chat, just a computer with internet access. Questions are already pouring in, so be sure to join in live, or read the transcript when the chat is over.

UPDATE: A transcript of the RTI chat is available here.
