Workshop
Information
Dr. Riley-Tillman
conducts workshops on a range of topics related to effective
intervention with students in schools using a problem solving model
(e.g. Response to Intervention and Positive Behavior Supports and
Interventions). These workshops focus on in depth
understanding of the technical demands of using evidence based
interventions. In addition
to leading the ECU Evidence Based Intervention Project, he also has
been a part of several projects with other educational researchers related
to the application of best practices in schools including writing
two books and the development of Direct Behavior Ratings. Over the last 10 years he
has conducted workshops for school districts, state school
psychology and teacher associations, and at conferences. Recent workshops include:
·
Measuring
Student Response
to Intervention: Using Data to Evaluate Interventions
Description: There has been a great deal written about Response to
Intervention (RTI), but there has been little attention to the
required level of rigor needed to make high-stakes decisions such
as when to change an intervention or move to a more intense
level including special education. This workshop is designed
to introduce the critical role of single case design (SCD) and
analysis for evaluating educational interventions in an RTI model.
Through case-studies and lectures workshop participants will learn
about specific SCDs that are appropriate at each Tier as well as
graphing and analysis strategies.
·
Evidence-based Interventions for
Behavior Problems in Schools: Selection, Implementation, and
Analysis
Description: Alterations in IDEA
have made the use of Evidence Based Interventions (EBI) mandatory
for school intervention work (Response to Intervention).
In practice, though, selecting, implementing and analyzing the effectiveness
of EBIs can be a difficult process. In this workshop, several EBIs
for behavior problems in the schools will be presented. In
addition, implementation and analysis issues will be discussed. The
goal of the workshop is to go beyond the list of “what works” into
a presentation of “how to use what works”.
·
Response to Intervention:
Practical Skills for Human Service Professionals to be Effective in
the Future of Servicing Children in Need in Schools
Description: 'Response to Intervention' is an emerging
approach to the diagnosis of Learning Disabilities that holds
considerable promise. A critical component in the response to
intervention model is that a member of the intervention team has
the expertise to design intervention programs with a high degree of
internal validity. Internal
validity is critical in that the intervention team must be able to
equivocally state whether the intervention did, or did not result
in a successful outcome. The
expertise to manage interventions in a manner that results in a
high level of internal validity is based on an understanding of
single subject methodology.
In addition, it is critical that a member of the
intervention teams has a fundamental understanding of how to analyze
intervention outcome data.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a primer on RTI, selection of
interventions using brief functional assessment, feasible
collection of intervention outcome data and finally single subject
methodology and an overview of the effective analysis of intervention
data.
