In case you missed the earlier post regarding the series of presentations at the April 2007 meeting of the Council for Exceptional Children, here’s a reminder that you can obtain copies of the passouts for the presentations right here at Teach Effectively!

There’s comments on RtI and law, ethnicity, and monitoring progress of RtI efforts as well as notes about topics that are less-often discussed than reading: Secondary students, behavior problems, and arithmetic.
