Back-To-School Interest Inventory

Happy Sunday Afternoon Everyone,

When we think of Response to Intervention and starting the school year, we all know that we need to give all of our students an Interest Inventory so that we can plan to teach to the interests if our students. In saying this, please check out this resource to utilize with your students!

Product Description: What a better way to start the school year! This resource is an Interest Inventory to help you to get to know your students! Students are able to list their favorites… such as their favorite subject, food, movie, person, place, and book, etc. Response to Intervention, a federal mandate, states that in Tier I we take the opportunity to get to know our children in every way possible! This inventory allows you, as a teacher, to have another tool to get to know your students well and engage the unmotivated with a topic they are interested in learning!!

Happy Friday! First Week Successfully Completed!

Good Morning,

Well, I hope everyone has had a successful first week of school and that you are finding your routine and schedules are settling down for everyone! I don't know about you but this morning I actually felt a little bit of fall in the air! Whoo Hoo! I have uploaded a training resource this morning in regards to Response to Intervention ~ check it out and see if you could use this as a professional development session! Have a great weekend!

Product Description: This resource is a must have for giving a solid description of the three tiers of instruction. It is full of infographics that aid in the explanation for a refresher session on each tier. The training slides progress from the programs, methodologies, and strategies that we specifically use at tier one to ensure high quality instruction to the intensiveness of tier III and the possibility of progressing to a child-study through the MET team. Next, an in-depth look is given to tier two and specific strategies that help to intervene in specific deficits. Then, a look at tier III is investigated and discussed. This training is meant to take the participant through each tier looking at strategies, decision-making skills, and timelines for best practice. This training can be used in a focused faculty meeting, a professional development session, or in a smaller professional learning community as a specific focus group strengthens their process in Response to Intervention!
