Perhaps more than any other single initiative, response to intervention is likely to restructure how middle and

high school teachers teach in a very profound way. While the impact of RTI alone will be significant, when

coupled with differentiated lesson activities for all Tier 1 instruction, and supported by up-to-date instruction

technologies, that impact is likely to refocus instruction in middle and high school classes rather drastically.

RTI in Middle and High Schools is a timely and targeted resource that discusses the innovations of RTI,

differentiated instruction, and instructional technologies. Explore numerous real-world case studies and find solutions for the complex challenges of implementing the RTI process.

In RTI & Differentiated Reading in the K–8 Classroom, the authors argue that whole-group reading instruction in general education classes is no longer an appropriate learning environment. They outline three innovations that educators can integrate to dramatically improve reading instruction from kindergarten through the upper elementary grades—response to intervention (RTI), differentiated instruction, and technology.

Helpful case studies and detailed descriptions of recommended technology tools show how teachers can use these innovations to update traditional lesson plans for the 21st century. The authors also discuss various brain-compatible instructional techniques based on the latest neuroscience research, such as the use of music, humor, emotion, movement, role play, and repetition, along with content enhancements like graphic organizers and study guides.

RTI & Differentiated Reading in the K–8 Classroom includes specific team activities that schools can undertake immediately to facilitate the shift to

these new approaches, which are rapidly changing the face of reading instruction.

RTI in Mathmatics NEWby William N. Bender & Darlene Crane

RTI in Math: Practical Guidelines for Elementary Teachers addresses a growing demand for implementation of response to intervention (RTI) procedures in mathematics education. RTI is used to ensure a successful learning experience for all students by targeting specific areas where students struggle and eliminating threats to learning and development.

Drawing upon years of experience in mathematics education and RTI, the authors provide a detailed map of the RTI process, beginning with an overview of RTI research, general procedures, and its potential for application in mathematics. They analyze common student difficulties in both early and upper-elementary math, from basic number sense to complex problem-solving skills, and they apply a three-tier RTI model to the general education classroom.

This resource offers guidance through each stage of the RTI process, extensive tools for teacher reflection and growth, and discussion of support strategies beyond the classroom. It also includes a variety of assessment materials, research-based instructional strategies, and numerous case-studies of RTI implementation.

Response to Intervention: A Practical Guide for Every Teacher by William N. Bender & Carla Shores

Discover a resource that shows teachers how to implement RTI in the classroom! As a result of NCLB legislation and the reauthorization of IDEA 2004, Response to Intervention (RTI) is now a mandated process for documenting the existence or nonexistence of a learning disability. For educators new to the RTI approach, Response to Intervention presents an overview of key concepts with guidelines for accountability practices that benefit students in inclusive classrooms. Presenting the three tiers of RTI techniques, the authors demonstrate how general and special education teachers can use research-based interventions effectively to individualize instruction, monitor individual student progress, and implement strategies to meet the specific needs of all students.

RTI & The Classroom Connection to Literacy by Karen A. Kemp & Mary Ann Eaton

To assist teachers in implementing Response To Intervention (RTI), this book will link instructional techniques to assessment, ensuring that data truly informs instruction. This comprehensive resource will provide research-based interventions for each of the five components of reading identified by the National Reading Panel, as well as the important issue of motivation.

Thought provoking questions about student learning will guide the teacher to the appropriate intervention, while step by step procedures for implementation of each technique, along with measures to monitor students' progress are what makes this book a "must have" for every classroom. Reproducible forms allow for easy management and data collection.
