'This timely and necessary information provides educators with scaffolded scenarios of Response to Intervention and differentiated instruction at the classroom level. Included are guiding questions for ensuring effective instructional practice so that students can achieve at their greatest potential!'-Shelby Robertson, Associate Director of Mathematics, University of Central Florida 'Elementary teachers can use this book confidently as a guide in the journey toward the implementation of RTI and differentiated instruction' - Ronda Gregg, Director of Special Services Litchfield School District, NH Teachers are expected to tailor instruction for diverse learners in their classrooms. While most educators are familiar with differentiated instruction, the principles and practices of Response to Intervention Instruction (RTI) are still emerging. This helpful guide examines the relationship between differentiated instruction and RTI through the eyes of the classroom teacher. Included are direct, clear, and practical strategies for simultaneously implementing DI and RTI that focus on classroom application rather than theory. Key topics include: - How RTI and DI can work together - How to analyze data as a basis for instruction - How to apply RTI and DI to each individual student Teachers will find in-class assessment strategies for placing students in correct RTI tiers, sample lessons, and troubleshooting tips-everything a teacher needs to effectively implement DI and RTI for enhanced student achievement.
An efficient way to merge differentiated instruction and RTI Collecting, processing, and using assessment data to form instruction for each student can be overwhelming-especially with so much diversity in the classroom. Help is here, with this hands-on guide that brings together the two leading approaches to teaching students of varying abilities: Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI) and differentiated instruction (DI). Written in a practical, "how-to" format, this book gives middle school teachers strategies for adapting assessments, curriculum, and instruction to student abilities. Key topics include: - Differences and similarities between RTI and DI - Data analysis for effective instructional decision making - Strategies for applying RTI and DI to all students, including English learners, children with special needs, and high-ability students Focused on user-friendly strategies for the classroom rather than school systems, this helpful guide includes lesson plans, case studies, examples, rubrics, and teacher reflection exercises. Streamline your instruction with this winning combination and watch student achievement soar!
Beyond Differentiated Instruction provides the framework, sequential steps, and practical strategies for implementing a comprehensive and systematic differentiated instructional programme. Using vivid case studies and extensive research and covering a wide range of topics, Jodi O'Meara examines how each issue relates to differentiation, including standards, teacher reflection, the relationship between response to intervention, and the necessary pre-planning, planning, implementation, and monitoring stages-all while providing the practical templates and start-up tools for busy teachers and school administrators.
