WELCOME to the 2011-2012 School Year
It's a Great Day to be a Rattler!
What's New?
This year I have a new position at school, so I thought I'd utilize my web page to share with our community information about RtI and our school's RtI plan. Periodically, I'll change this page to reflect new information and progress toward our goals.
What is RtI?
For years schools have attempted to provide help to the millions of school-age children who experience difficulties with learning. Recently, Congress added new provisions to our nation's federal education laws that are designed to encourage districts to provide additional support for struggling students within general education. The current focus is on an improved, research-based process known as Response to Intervention(RtI).
RtI is a multi-tiered system of support that should be provided as early as possible when students first show signs of difficulty. By helping students early, schools can keep every student on grade level and on track to graduate. It is a way to help all students succeed, including struggling learners, and Pine Ridge shares this philosophy.
RtI is not a special kind of program or book. The RtI process provides extra help at increasing levels of intensity depending on how much progress students are making. It can be used at any grade level(Preschool-12) and for any content area, but is most often used in reading and/or math. Progress at each stage of intervention is closely monitored. Results are used to make decisions about the need for further research-based instruction and/or intervention in general education.
Pine Ridge is currently using an RtI process at all grades (K-8). We are setting goals and reviewing research-based materials. Our district is committed to providing early help which research shows can limit the amount of academic failure that any student experiences. Keeping students at or near grade level, especially in the early grades, is essential to a student's self-esteem and long-term success in school.
