Interesting conversation today with Angie (high school teacher quoted in the post) about the natural marriage of RTI with professional learning communities. It's all about generating conversations around respond to instruction. We are still learning, but committed to this work.steelepiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451313203970389149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276647258637110716.post-43697498863121356602009-11-16T07:36:52.885-05:002009-11-16T07:36:52.885-05:00The most important thing with RtI is for teachers ...The most important thing with RtI is for teachers to take ownership of providing the different tiers of interventions. Classroom interventions with the regular education teacher can and should occur at tiers 1, 2, and 3. In my experience, many teachers are still looking for outside support (including special education) to provide these interventions to struggling learners. It is easier to "pass them along" than to deliver a specific intervention in the regular classroom setting. Yes, it is a lot of planning and a lot of work, but it must be done if we are going to help our struggling learners! Another pitfall I see that comes with a lack of understanding of the RtI framework is that children are labeled as "tier 2" or "tier 3" students. STUDENTS are not tiered- INTERVENTIONS are tiered. A student may be successful with the core instruction delivered in tier 1 in reading, but needs tier 2 interventions in order to help master a specific math skill. I think the resources you posted are excellent!L. Hilthttp://principalposts.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.com
