In Closing the RTI Gap: Why Poverty and Culture Count, Donna Walker Tileston not only explains to readers why RTI is so important (defining key terms along the way), but also shows how they can achieve successful implementation in their own schools, particularly in the context of poverty and culture. All children should have equal access to highly qualified teachers, a strong curriculum, and research-based instructional methods. RTI can make that hope a reality. Why should teachers implement a response to intervention (RTI) model? Rather than wait for students to fail, misidentify students with special needs, or disproportionally represent certain ethnic groups, RTI offers schools a chance to ensure that all students achieve high levels of learning. The influence of culture and poverty cannot be overestimated; students facing such hurdles will often experience inequality in education. Response to intervention, when implemented correctly, provides these students the chance they need to succeed. However, RTI is only as strong as the planning and research that go into developing individual school plans.
To further clarify issues related to RTI with respect to language and literacy, the RTI Commission offers the following set of principles as a guide to IRA members and others concerned with developing and implementing an RTI approach to improving the language and literacy learning of all students.
The 20 articles in this volume, selected by Allington from IRA’s journal The Reading Teacher, are grouped around three themes:
This book describes successful, evidence-based RTI approaches and then shows them in action in real schools and districts. Edited by the co-chairs of IRA’s RTI Commission, this resource presents collaborative frameworks proven to work in today's classrooms. It offers specific, practical information for general educators—particularly teachers, reading specialists, and literacy coaches. The action plan and corresponding tools provided can be used to guide RTI efforts in your school and district—from creating the RTI team to assessing readiness for implementation. The book is also useful for school-based professional development, as well as for teacher education. | Presented by: |
