Per state DOSE meeting yesterday with OSEEL, the issue of confidentiality was brought up  with serving students in groups virtually.  Both Gretta and Sylvia (of KDE) stated that "this is NOT a confidentiality violation.  When students are participating in groups virtually, your teachers are not sharing any 'student records'.  They shared this is no different if we were in brick/mortar and parents could see or hear students being instructed by special ed and/or related personnel."

Please provide information/ recommendations on how to implement effective RTI interventions

Special education teachers do not provide RTI instruction. We do not have legal consent from parents to provide special education to student who are not eligible for special education.

Yes- this is geared toward initial evals.  Not a sped teacher implementing RTI

Administrators are working on how virtual RTI interventions look in each of the buildings. It may be that the student meets with the interventionist in a virtual classroom to provide the intervention.
