If you’re anything like me, your school may utilize the process of Response to Intervention (RTI) to identify and document tiered interventions for struggling learners. As a teacher, this can feel like a lot to keep track of, yet is such an important component to helping your struggling learners succeed! I sometimes found this process to be confusing and challenging to document and follow as I sought to help the students in my classroom, document the necessary data, and communicate this all to school officials and parents. I wanted to be sure my documentation was clear, organized, and concise all while allowing for direct communication with parents. So, this is the basis on which I created this product. It it my hope that the following pages will be helpful to you as your seek to help the students in your classroom too! This product includes the following resources: RTI Overview Information RTI Tier 1 Teacher Recording Form RTI Tier 2 Teacher Recording Form RTI Tier 3 Teacher Recording Form RTI Records of Students Data Template RTI Initial Parent Letter RTI Progress Monitoring Parent Letter RTI Teacher Checklist Data Card/Tracker Templates ********************************************** Thank you for stopping by and visiting my store!

I think we can all agree that if you are a teacher, you will occasionally come home stressed out, right? There are a variety of reasons for the stress. If the reason is due to a student with behavior problems I have a tip for you. You know the Oprah shows with Dr. Phil when he is talking to a guest and he says "how's that working for you?" When I find myself stressed out about a student and his/her behavior which is affecting the delivery of my instruction and the chemistry of my class, I ask myself "how's that working for me?" I write down the strategies that I have been using. Then I look at why those strategies don't work with this student. The next thing that I do is take careful documentation. I need to know what day and time of day the behavior is worse. Once I can see a pattern I can investigate to see why some days or times are better than others. Is Thursday morning a bad day? Maybe the student had an extracurricular activity the night before that caused the him/her to go to bed later than normal. Tired and cranky students are not at their best in the classroom. The behavior form below is a quick and easy form to use. Choose two target behaviors such as keep hands to himself/herself when lining up and blurts out during circle time lessons. Put a tally mark to document the number of reminders you give the student to keep hands to him/herself or about blurting. Click HERE to download this freebie. Looking for more tips?
