Ann Casey

Dr. Ann Casey is currently Director of the Minnesota Response to Intervention Center, which is funded by a Minnesota Legislative grant to the St. Croix River Education District. Her position entails providing professional development and coaching support for implementation of RtI to school personnel in Minnesota.

In addition, she is currently co-principal investigator of an OSEP funded project, Demonstrating Progress Monitoring. Her disciplinary background is School Psychology, but she has had other roles in schools including Early Literacy Director, and Special Education Administration.

Ann spent 19 years in the Minneapolis Public Schools where she was a major contributor to the development of the Minneapolis Problem Solving Model, an early form of Response to Intervention. One of her educational passions has been early literacy instruction, and she has been active in advocating for systems changes that are necessary so more children leave their primary years well prepared to be proficient readers.

Other areas of professional interest include behavioral consultation and the problem-solving process. Dr. Casey received her Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Educational Psychology where Jim Ysseldyke and Stan Deno were her mentors.
