Overview of RtI-- What "Shifts in thinking" need to occur at our school related to student performance?
 * RtI is for all students
 * Stop thinking in terms labels, instead think of terms in needs.
 * RtI is not the process to label a student ESE
 * Collaboration is a must! We all need to get out of our comfort zone and work together!
 * Every staff member is responsible for the student body, not just the classroom teacher.
 * RTI is the law, not a choice!

Core Curriculum-- TeacherTube-Funny Teacher Rant

Key questions- does our instruction meet the needs of all students? How do we know? What processes and strategies do we consistently employ to meet the needs of all students? Are these processes and strategies chosen and used by indiv. teachers or fomralized as school-wide approaches to instruction/intervention?

Start with the end in mind.
