Your job as RTI lead

You keep the process moving and the records true. You do not teach every intervention or make every decision alone. The committee decides, the teachers deliver, and you make sure it is all scheduled, sent and written down.

Confirm locally: who sits on the SGE RTI committee, who chairs it, and whether teachers or you enter progress scores in SuccessEd.
