How RTI Works in Secondary Schools: Building a Framework for Success
I was sold by page 5 on this book and its importance to the future of RTI in secondary schools. These authors have the guts to say what needs to be said, and do so quite well. They not only use straight talk to get to the heart of the issues, they present a thorough, step-by-step, whole-school process for implementing RTI at the secondary level, written with a solid understanding of practicality and in easily understandable language. --Susan Gingras Fitzell, Educational Consultant, AimHi Educational Programs, Manchester, New HampshireA must-have book for secondary schools that are implementing an RTI framework. This is a clear and well-thought-out resource that provides guidance that is both evidence-based and practical. The advance organizers provide deeper understanding of the content of each chapter. The forms that are included will have immediate application for schools, whether they are beginning the RTI process or are continuing to refine it. --Wendy Robinson, Regional Director, Heartland Area Education Agency 11, Johnston, IowaThe authors provide specific strategies to help overcome assumptions held by teachers that can limit student learning. This book provides clear direction and systemic approaches in implementing best practices to help all students achieve success. --Joan Oakley, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Leadership/Student Services, Ladue School District, St. Louis, Missouri
