  National Center on Response to Intervention Webinar: English Language Learners (ELLs) and RTI On December 2, the National Center on Response to Intervention hosted a webinar on "English Language Learners (ELLs) and RTI." The purpose of this webinar was to discuss the educational needs of English Language Learners (ELLs) and how those needs can best be met in an RTI framework. The webinar also highlighted examples from schools who are successfully meeting the needs of English Language Learners. The presenter, Janette Klingner, is Professor of Education at the University of Colorado at Boulder, specializing in bilingual special education. Dr. Klingner's research foci include the disproportionate representation of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education, reading comprehension strategy instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse students, and enhancing the sustainability of culturally responsive and evidence-based practices through professional development. She was a bilingual special education teacher for ten years before earning a PhD in reading and learning disabilities from the University of Miami.
