The second session of Tier I RTI²-A+B (Response to Instruction & Intervention: Academics + Behavior) recently wrapped up, and we’re proud to share that ALL #BedfordCountySchools have now received Tier I RTI²-A+B training!
This work reinforces Bedford County Schools’ commitment to providing strong academic instruction and meaningful behavioral supports for every #student so each learner has the tools they need to reach their full potential.
Through RTI²-A+B, our schools focus on:
📊 Data-driven decision making
📚 Intentional, systematic instruction
🧠 Academic and behavioral support
🔍 Research-based practices aligned to student needs
We’re building a stronger foundation for success together! 💙
#StudentSuccessIsOurWhy #LifetimeLearners #TogetherWeLearn #TogetherWeGrow #BedfordProud
In partnership with Volunteer Behavioral Health, #BedfordCountySchools recently received a grant-funded donation of nine telehealth iPad carts and seven take-home iPads to support #student mental health.
This initiative helps remove barriers and connect more #students and families with critical mental health services because access to care should never stand in the way of success. 💙
