Riassunto

Learn how to launch RTI successfully and improve student outcomes significantly!

This principal's guide to implementing Response to Intervention (RTI) for elementary and middle school reading emphasizes the critical role administrators play in ensuring RTI success in their schools. The author makes recommendations for putting the RTI process in motion and helps school leaders: 

• Formulate a comprehensive assessment plan that includes an assessment calendar and a data management system 
• Design a yearlong staff development plan to train teachers in using data for making instructional decisions 
• Use data in grade-level, teacher, and parent meetings
• Motivate staff for optimum success without overwhelming them

Recensione:

"As an administrator who has been trained in RTI and is in the second year of implementation, I found the book to be both interesting and informative. I have also told other administrators to keep an eye out for it." (Jennifer Cruz, Principal 2007-05-08)

"Clearly outlines a process of how schools can work collaboratively toward creating schoolwide learning environments where effective RTI practices are implemented and data is used to inform instructional decisions about students." (Alice Hom, Principal 2007-05-08)

“I loved it! We in the field are in need of this type of book.” (Jill Gildea, Director of Curriculum & Instruction 2007-05-03)

"Perfect for practitioners who are seeking research-based ways to make the gift of reading available to all students, not just to those who are 'ready.' If you know almost nothing about RTI, this book provides a superb orientation. If you know a little about RTI, you will be an expert by the time you finish the book." (From the Foreword by Elaine K. McEwan 2007-09-17)

“Provides a key to what RTI looks like in practice, showing how educators can use it to help students acquire and stay on course with reading skills. College-level education collections and principals need this.” (California Bookwatch, May 2008 2008-06-12)

"Reading this book is like having a personal coach guiding one through the RTI implementation process. At a time when RTI has become one of the hottest buzz words in education, this book is a user-friendly resource providing education leaders moral support and clear, practical suggestions." (The School Administrator, June 2008 2008-07-11)
