Book excerpt: "This book offers a bank of proven RTI strategies for Grades 6-12 that will elevate test scores and improve student achievement for all students, not just struggling learners. The author explains how RTI fits into secondary education and applies it to reading comprehension, writing, math and more. She summarizes Tiers One, Two, and Three in teacher-friendly language and includes easy-to-implement and practical interventions; sample lesson plans and visual models, and examples of how to address budgeting, staffing, performance, and student culture constraints. The grouping strategies included in each lesson plan improve students' social skills and, in concert with other circumstances, can reduce referrals to special education. RTI Strategies for Secondary Teachers will help teachers take their instruction up a notch in every classroom and reduce stress in the process."--Publisher.
