Upcoming Trainings

These upcoming trainings are intended for districts partnering with ORTII. If you are not a current partner district and are interested in attending, please reach out to Administrative Specialist Matthew Kishlock (mkishlock@nwresd.k12.or.us). Extra space may be available but will be limited. These events are free for all Oregon school districts.

These are systems level trainings and will not focus on classroom instruction, and will also be most beneficial if attended by multiple leaders or a team from a district. Registration and lodging information is available upon request. Resources, including agendas, slide decks, and handouts, will be posted here as they become available.

Purpose

This training will equip District Leadership Teams with the knowledge and tools to implement Data-Based Individualization (DBI) in their setting. Using the DBI Framework, participants will learn to apply progress monitoring and diagnostic data to design, adjust, and strengthen reading instruction so students with the most intensive needs can make meaningful progress.

During this training we will:

• Learn the essential components of Data-Based Individualization (DBI)

• Examine case studies using the DBI protocols

• Develop a plan for implementing DBI processes in your district
