I think there it's less need for MINI-lessons at this age. I actually like
the traditional format of WW of lesson, engagement, sharing. Of course,
Nancie Atwell remains the best of the best, and her DVD and lessons are
truly amazing, but I always really like the lessons that Ralph Fletcher
developed (and published) to go with his black book on writers' workshop.
Another great source for lessons for both fiction and nonfiction are the
craft lessons books. However, I would never just take right off with
lessons; it's too important to understand the philosophy and best practices
of writers' workshop. I don't think anyone can beat Regie Routman's Writing
Essentials, Lucy Calkins' The Art of Teaching Writing, and Atwell, but it's
SOOO important to have the"whole picture" from someone who conveys WHY
lessons work. Has anyone mentioned Steve Peha as a great source for all
things workshop, free, and on the web?

Read Nancy Atwell In the Middle and visit her school website. I also like
her Lessons that Change Writers. She is my "go to" geru for writing at this

Pat Quinn, The RTI Guy also has great resources for RTI. You can find
him
online and he also holds seminars. I recommend attending one of his
seminars.
He really does a fantastic job explaining RTI from a teacher's
perspective.

"No Quick Fix"? Is that the Allington book you mean?
Thanks!
An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk
away
from
all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with
people
who
make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people
who
treat
you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything
but
happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Our school haphazardly implemented Tier II of RTI last year. In light

that, are there any schools out there that have done a thoughtful and
successful implementation of RTI? What does each Tier look like?
When
(schedule-wise) is it being done and who delivers the services? Are
you
using specific programs for it? If so, which ones and how were they
chosen?
Are you only addressing literacy or have you managed to address math
issues as
well.
Thanks ever so much!

PS If you have any book recommendations I'd be interested in that
info
as
well. Thanks again!
