Differentiated Instruction & RTI
These books offer step-by-step guidelines for designing and implementing effective differentiated instruction and Response-To-Intervention (RTI) strategies in the classroom or broader school environment. Researchers and practitioners share lessons learned, hands-on tools, and recommended resources.
Product Description: This comprehensive guide shows general education and ESL teachers how to differentiate instruction and assessment for the English language learners in their classes. The book provides concrete strategies that teachers can use in any content-area classroom to engage every ELL, from beginning to advanced levels of English language proficiency. The authors highlight how teachers can address critical differences between ELLs with a strong foundation in the first language and students with limited former schooling. The book is aligned with national and state English language proficiency standards and assessments.
In this guidebook, Jana Echeverría and MaryEllen Vogt propose an approach based on the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model. The authors offer a helpful roadmap for practitioners by outlining a number of considerations and interventions for Tiers 1, 2, and 3, including guides and examples for each tier, as well as extensive information about best instructional practices, parent involvement in RTI, and RTI for secondary ELLs.
Catherine Collier has compiled a groundbreaking collection of 200+ interventions for use with culturally and linguistically diverse learners. The strategies are organized into four tiers and are accompanied by guidelines, cultural and linguistic considerations, and research-based references. While these interventions will be particularly helpful to practitioners working within an RTI model, the strategies will also be of value in all classrooms with diverse learners.
Product Description: This research-based guide offers educators proven methods for determining when English language learners (ELLs) are having reading difficulties that are related to the language acquisition process and when students' performance issues might be linked to learning disabilities. An excellent resource for general and special education teachers and service providers, the text provides an overview of the language acquisition process and offers a variety of best practices to prevent inappropriate referrals of ELLs to special education.
