Online Modules

We have collaborated with faculty and community members to create modules on the topic of Problem Solving. These modules provide in depth information as well as case studies and resources to extend your knowledge on the topic.

MN RTI Center Training Modules:

The Minnesota RTI Center has developed online training modules that are relevant to the mission of RIPS. We thank the authors and contributors of the modules for allowing us to disseminate these resources. Topics include universal screening, progress monitoring, tiered service delivery, evidence based practices, and measurement issues that must be considered when engaging in problem solving. Please click on the links below to view and download the materials. A PowerPoint presentation, articles, quizzes, and case studies are included.
