Organization: Minneapolis Public Schools
This webinar was presented by Tom Hegranes, Ann Casey, and Doug Marston from the Minneapolis Public Schools on June 20, 2006.
Since the mid-1990’s, Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) has implemented a problem-solving approach to delivering early intervening services to struggling learners. This approach involves documenting student responses to interventions and, when satisfactory progress is not made, referring children for special education evaluation.
The Minneapolis Problem-Solving Model is similar to the response to intervention approach (RtI) authorized under IDEA 2004.
