SESSION RECORDING: Directors' Webinar Continuation Report Guidance #1 For this session Jennifer Coffey provided guidance about the 2012 continuation report that SPDG grantees are required to submit in the spring. She did not use a Powerpoint for this session, but instead displayed where grantees can access resources on the website relevant to reporting purposes. In addition, she provided a walk-through of the sample continuation report (see above link). The deadline for the 2012 report will be announced in the “Dear Colleague” letter that goes out to each Project Director. Please note that you will continue to report on your Project Objectives and performance measures as you have in previous reports. Jennifer will be providing a more comprehensive overview to completing your continuation report on the March Directors' Call.

RTI Essential Components Integrity Worksheet (PDF, 2011) The RTI Essential Components Integrity Rubric and the RTI Essential Components Integrity Worksheet are for use by individuals responsible for monitoring the school-level fidelity of Response to Intervention (RTI) implementation. They may also be used by schools for self-appraisal; however, they were not designed for compliance monitoring and therefore should not be used for this purpose. The rubric and the worksheet are designed to be used together and are aligned with the Essential Components of RTI: A Closer Look at Response to Intervention (National Center on Response to Intervention, 2010).
