Four Essential Questions and How We Respond
1. What do we expect our students to learn? (Goals/Expectations)
2. How will we know they are learning? (Assessment)
3. How will we respond when they don’t learn? –Intervention
Reponses to Intervention (RtI)
a. Small Group Instruction
b. Tiered Group Instruction (Tier II, Tier III)
c. 1 -1
d. Centers (leveled)
e. Re-teach – different ways
f. Repeat!!!!
g. Volunteers: Senior/Tech Academy
h. Modify – backtrack, build back ground knowledge
i. Tutoring: after school or lunch recess tutor with teacher
j. Computer Intervention
k. Referral to Problem Solving TeamConferencing (student – teacher; peer –peer)
4. How will we respond if they already know it? (gifted)
