From the NPR, Inc. website: "From the author of the acclaimed RTI Toolkit and creator of Intervention Central... comes a valuable toolkit designed for classroom teachers as they address the needs of struggling learners in the new era of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Jim Wright presents practical and proven strategies that classroom teachers can implement to help their struggling students meet the increased demands of the CCSS. Grades K-6.
This book is intended for the classroom teacher as a “how-to” guide in the use of those components that research shows promote harmonious learning environments and improved student academic performance. The expectation is that, as teachers incorporate these components into their daily routine, their learning environments will “self-organize” to be more conducive to learning. Chapters are organized that correspond to specific teacher challenges and can be thought of as an interlocking system, with the content of each supporting ideas and strategies contained throughout the book."
