As long as we discuss the “name” and departmentalize good instructional decidion making, the work in our schools will continue to be devoted to finding the magic bullet. RtI, PLC, PBS, Reading First, High Schools that Work etc are not magic bullets. They are ‘names” used to organize or conceptualize for educators practices that are foundational in schools that are viewed as highly effective. i.e. data driven decisions, collaborative practices, focus on results etc. Wouldn’t it be nice to talk about what to do not what we are calling it?

RIGHT on TARGET! Before we get all bogged down in plans for Tier 2, and 3. Let’s get Tier 1 under our belt. Thanks you for your rational informed approach. Response to Instruction! I LOVE IT!!!!

Yes! Suzy, I totally agree with Response to Instruction vs Response to Intervention.
