She is noticing that she has many students who are going to need to be progress monitored. She is not a co-taught class, so she has no help. What is the most effective way to manage this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am assuming that you are speaking about an elementary classroom in which the students only see one teacher throughout the day. In middle school students see several teachers throughout the day. Therefore, when we label students for progress monitoring (RTI) we have one teacher for the team that is allowed a professional development day in which she can use solely to work on RTI. We also meet as a team frequently to discuss the status of these kids. It takes outside of classroom time so that we can all be present and focus on the task at hand.                 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: This is a very good solution.

Our students who are struggling with reading and math (these are identified when students take the Aimsweb reading and math assessment- tests fluency and math facts) are put on a tier system. All students are tier one, but a student who has low Aimsweb scores in reading and/or math are identified, they are bumped to a tier two. This means that they are given extra practice in the area they are struggling in at least 3 times a week. All of this is set up with the help of our RTI (Response to Intervention) coach. She has been an excellent resource with providing grouping ideas for differentiation in the classroom and how to keep track of students progress. Rated On: October 20, 2014 2:44 am Rated By: Whitney
