General Information

A webcast is a video broadcast that you watch on your computer. After the initial live broadcast, RTI Action Network webcasts are archived. This means you can come to the RTI Action Network web site to watch a webcast any time day or night. Most computers already have everything you need to watch our webcasts.

RTI Action Network webcasts feature top experts in Response to Intervention. Our aim is for you to have a similar learning experience to what you would have if you were to attend a session at a professional conference. The difference is that from the webcast window you can stop the presentation, rewind, or skip forward.

Anyone is welcome to watch RTI Action Network webcasts. There is no charge. Your organization may also use them as the centerpiece of in-service and staff development workshops.

If you have general questions concerning this webcast series, please contact Negar Kordestani. This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it.
