Description: Go beyond the theory of Response to Intervention (RTI) to see exactly what schools do to help struggling students and close achievement gaps. This DVD set follows an entering high school freshman through an RTI approach that emphasizes: universal screening to identify learners who are struggling with academic and behavioral skills and programs that are draining time and energy from teachers without closing gaps for students; diagnostic assessment to show evidence of gaps between the expected outcomes and the actual performance; a three-tiered Instructional Intervention that increases with intensity from mainstream students to small- group learning; a pyramid of Intervention that helps educators taking inventory of what is already in place and fill in the gap with expert ideas; and resources such as research tools and pools of expert teachers to bolster efforts.
