Train-the-Trainer: RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION — Powerful Strategies to Strengthen Your Tier 1 and Tier 2 Reading Instruction, Grades K-6

This two-day Train-the-Trainer institute from the Bureau of Education and Research (BER) equips participants with practical strategies and ready-to-use training materials for implementing and strengthening Response to Intervention (RTI) reading programmes at their schools. Designed for Grades K–6, the institute focuses on powerful approaches to Tier 1 and Tier 2 reading instruction that help identify and support struggling readers before they fall too far behind. Participants will learn proactive strategies for supporting students with reading needs, techniques for organising intensive, systematic, and multi-level interventions, and practical training methods they can use immediately to help colleagues implement RTI effectively. Upon completion, attendees leave equipped with comprehensive training materials to deliver professional development to an unlimited number of teachers at their school sites. BER is a well-established provider of professional development for K–12 educators across the United States, known for practical, classroom-focused training that translates directly into improved teaching practice. This train-the-trainer format multiplies the impact by building internal capacity within schools to sustain and refine their reading intervention programmes over time.
