Looking for RtI professional development services in literacy and math?  Look no further.  The Highlander Institute is raising proficiency levels and supporting RtI processes in districts across RI and MA.

Highlander Institute RtI / School Reform Models combine research-based practices in professional development, leadership, and culture with a system of interconnected instruction, curriculum, and assessment.  The process is designed to help educators improve outcomes for students at each instructional tier.

Our methodology is informed by research from the Hanson Initiative for Language & Literacy (HILL), the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR), the Oregon Reading First Center at the University of Oregon, and the Hartland Area Education Agency.

Partner schools and districts engage in a process of self-reflection and leverage their unique strengths through a holistic approach to school improvement.  Highly-trained consultants integrate processes and routines that focus on research-based practices in leadership / accountability, assessment and data-driven decisions, embedded coaching, and ongoing teacher training.

Services are tailored to meet specific needs and support districts at the beginning, intermediate and advanced stages of RtI implementation.  Facilitators bring expertise in the development of literacy and math assessment frameworks, curriculum frameworks, intervention processes & content, data meetings and more.
