About Us This project is a collaboration between the Special Education Division (SED) and Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) to allow the development of an web-based training program for general and special education personnel to provide information recent changes in federal law in relation to students with disabilities. IDEIA 2004 encourages Local Education Agencies (LEA) to use a process that considers a student's response to research-based intervention as part of the evaluation procedure for eligibility for special education services. This process is being referred to nationally as Response to Intervention (RtI) RtI is a process that focuses on early intervention designed to prevent learning failure. It involves a system level response that identifies students who are not making adequate progress on the California standards in the critical areas of reading, mathematics and written language. This approach recognizes the critical influence of student behavior on learning and incorporates a problem solving process to address behavior issues. RtI necessitates that all staff within the school take responsibility for student achievement. It requires an alignment of assessment and instruction to produce positive academic outcomes for all students. It will involve a collaboration and alignment of purpose between general and special education and other remedial services offered within the district.
