RTI in Middle and High Schools
NEWby William N. Bender - Published by Solution Tree
|
Paperback Book ISBN:978-1-934009-51-2 Copyright 2011
Price $29.95
|
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.

RTI and Differentiated Reading
NEWby William N. Bender, Linda Waller
|
Paperback Book ISBN 9781935249689 Copyright 2011 Price
$29.95
|
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 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.

Beyond the RTI Pyramidby William N. Bender
|
Paperback Book 232 Pages ISBN 978-1934009123 Copyright
2009 Price $29.95
|
Go beyond the definitions and process talk of response to
intervention (RTI) and find straightforward strategies for
successful implementation. This book addresses the need to
deepen RTI efforts based on practical implementation
issues and emerging research. Dr. Bender analyzes how RTI
is implemented, how it functions, and its implications for
general and special education teachers and students. He
shows how to extend the RTI process to apply not just to
reading, but also to math and behavior. Using his
experience in workshops with real schools, he outlines
typical implementation issues and provides clear guidance
to classroom teachers on documenting the process,
contacting parents, complying with the law, and preparing
for meetings to determine a student’s eligibility for
special services.
Educators new to RTI and those already involved in
implementation efforts will find useful solutions to meet
the learning needs of every student.

Discover a resource that shows teachers how to
implement RTI in the classroom! As a result of NCLB

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
