The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction is offering high-quality professional development opportunities to educators for the 2023-2024 school year.
North Dakota educators now have access to the MetaMetrics® Lexile® & Quantile® Educator Academy – at no cost!
This consists of two, self-paced professional development courses that provide educators a blueprint for matching students with leveled resources and individualizing student goals.
As RTI grew even more in scope and depth, intervention and support started to further incorporate the diverse needs of students. The RTI pyramid model morphed into a circle to represent ongoing student intervention, also known as Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS). In addition, the behavioral aspects of intervention came to include cultural awareness, evidence-based practices, and a multilevel prevention system that incorporated things such as a school’s community and MTSS technologies.
