Don't let the revolution in math education pass your teachers by By now, most teachers have a shelf full of books, articles, and reports on the Common Core and RTI. But where's the resource that addresses how the two fit together? Individually, the Common Core and RTI are formidable enough. Together, they create a "perfect storm" of challenges, with most teachers left wondering where to turn first. Finally, here's a guide that distills the central elements of the Common Core and RTI into a single, manageable resource that provides strategies for serving all students. You will find: Real-world scenarios based on actual school-based issues Multiple classroom-ready work samples Content-area applications of RTI, including math vocabulary and literacy A focus on instructional technology, with references to online resources in every chapter Preparation for future developments in state and national educational policy With additional guidance on students with special needs, behavioral issues, English language learners, and parent involvement, this all-in-one resource gives your teachers a distinct advantage in providing the superior math instruction all students deserve.

The Complete Guide to RTI offers a toolbox of strategies, techniques, checklists, etc, as well as technology and print resources, for introducing RTI to educators. Readers gain sufficient foundational and theoretical understanding with regard to why RTI is so revolutionary and from where it has evolved for current use. They benefit from a comprehensive picture of actual implementation experience as they consider putting steps in place for the execution of RTI programs within their schools. The book also offers guidance for analyzing and evaluating their existing models and programs. The book organizes the applications of RTI into the following four areas: (1) foundations of RTI, including its educational and political history as well as its scientific and data-driven approach in both general and special education; presented concisely and clearly so as not to overwhelm practitioners(2) content area applications of RTI, including reading and literacy, mathematics, and positive behavior support(3) the use of technology in teaching RTI skills and applying RTI in classroom settings(4) understanding the concerns of non-professional stakeholders in the introduction of RTI: parents, students and communitiesRather than simply featuring RTI as an effective approach to improving student achievement, this book presents it as a paradigm shift in American schools today that sets the stage for its future role in teacher education and practice.
