  Case: No Time for RTI
My schools' master schedule is tight and there is no other time to perform interventions or probe students other than lunch. However, I need that time to relax my mind for a moment and eat. We are asked not to pull students from Specials. What should I do to be sure I am performing my RTI duties appropriately without missing lunch?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think lunch should be taken for your students to eat and relax, but for you as well. You need time to eat, think, relax, and recollect your thoughts. I think RTI is crucial, so try fitting in core class time at the end or when the teacher pulls for group work or reading groups or centers. Try to fit in time when possible, specials are a chance for the kids to have some free time away from the core curriculum, so pulling during specials is not fair to the student.
