RTI is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with academic and/or behavior needs. The RTI process begins with high-quality instruction and universal screening of all children in the general education classroom. This program should be helpful for parents/caregivers as they prepare for Teacher- Parent conferences.Intelligent Lives Monday, October 29 2018, 7 pm, Natick High School Auditorium From award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib comes INTELLIGENT LIVES, a catalyst to transform the label of intellectual disability from a life sentence of isolation into a life of possibility for the most systematically segregated people in America. INTELLIGENT LIVES stars three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities—Micah, Naieer, and Naomie—who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the United States. INTELLIGENT LIVES challenges what it means to be intelligent, and points to a future in which people of all abilities can fully participate in higher education, meaningful employment, and intimate relationship. | 2018 - 2019 Coffee with the Student Services Team The Student Services Department and SEPAC are hosting monthly coffees where parents have the opportunity for coffee and conversation with the student services staff at each school in our district.
