Intensive Curriculum University - The New Model for Middle School RTI Instruction

Wednesday February 10, 2021
2:00 - 3:00 PM
Lecture 2

80+% ELL, 90+% FRL, 35 student classroom average, 1300 students on campus. With those numbers how can a middle school in the highest crime-rated zip code in the heart of Las Vegas hope to identify those students in need of RTI and/or Tier 2 interventions? We have implemented a strategy in which every student is identified based on not only their academic strengths and weaknesses, but also through an intricate evaluation of their social-emotional needs. We have implemented a system in which every teacher on campus is transformed into a valued instructor to the core curricular areas, regardless of license specialty. Therefore, no student or teacher is allowed to fall through the cracks or be left behind.
