T. Sanders Saturday Afternoon Post

My small group's presentations today really got me thinking about all of the initiatives out there to help districts work toward RTI nirvana. We actually had three different presentations that focused on the concepts of co-teaching and the benefits of collaborative work among teachers. Our discussion moved toward LD identification and whether or not the constraints of RTI slow the inevitable identification of students or whether using small group instruction in the regular education setting (Tier 2 and 3 stuff) was really any different than labeling a kid as LD would be. Obviously, I don't know the answer, but it was a thought provoking discussion that stemmed from some pretty darn well done presentations---way to go room 109 crew.
