The self-contained class includes many students who are below grade-level in Math and Reading. The teacher is moving through the tiers of intervention. Several of the students are in tier 2, while others are in tier 3. The teacher has provided some programmatic interventions for each student. The instructional coach feels that the teacher needs to consistently work one-on-one with each student to meet each of their needs. The teacher feels like there is not enough time to systematically address the needs of each student in the necessary subject areas and maintains that the interventions for each student need to be programmatic. Is there common ground? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There never seems to be enough time to accomplish all of our work as teachers, and meeting one-on-one with struggling students is difficult at best. You could possibly reevaluate your daily and/or weekly schedule and how you include RTI. During your small group time, you could focus on meeting with individual students in math for two days per week and in reading for the other three. Establish some sort of rotation system so that you are not trying to meet individually every day with students who are struggling in multiple subjects.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Thi I sueful in that it gives all students a fair, equal opportunity to learn.
