This chapter examines the role professional development (PD) plays in preparing teachers to teach within Response to Intervention (RTI) frameworks, and how future PD efforts might be leveraged to strengthen the preparation of general and special education teachers to coordinate instruction and teach more effectively within multi-tiered instructional systems. This chapter highlights two PD approaches that directly address these issues. Prime Online and Project InSync are two PD innovations that have specifically addressed how PD can be designed to support general and special education teachers in deepening their shared knowledge and improving their ability to enact coordinated instruction across instructional tiers within RTI frameworks.

Abstract This article summarizes 4 years of data from San Diego Unified School District's Speech Improvement Class model for students with mild articulation needs. The district made a gradual shift from special education to general education. Data demonstrate that most students complete the class in 17-20 treatment hours. Three factors have been fundamental to the success of this program: the Articulation Resource Center, ongoing professional development, and a well-defined set of procedures. Challenges and concerns are also discussed. Overall, speech-language pathologists in San Diego Unified are implementing this class effectively and have branched out into other response to intervention supports.
