Wanted to briefly agree with some that RtI WAS what we've wanted. It was to serve the best interest of the kids without testing, labeling, and sending them off to a place so disconnected from the classroom that their learning was weakened rather than addressed. However it takes additional staff /which takes money. Classroom teachers can not carry the burden of the intense progress monitoring of Tier 2 that you need to ensure that what you're doing is making a difference and you're ready to move on with a student. We need interventionists to support the teacher. Sadly in my district this was all dropped on the classroom teacher, with no additional support, thus negative feelings about RtI. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
