#6A: Read the files on RTI
RTI (Response To Intervention) is very important when it comes to teaching students literacy. Without RTI, students would not receive the required reading help, until after they had been diagnosed with a disability. RTI gives schools the ability to help students that do not have a disability get the help they deserve. This will affect my teaching because I will have to watch for students who are struggling in reading and need RTI, but do not need special education classes.
#6B: Read files on NCLB
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a governement funded program to reach 100% literacy in reading and math by 2014. NCLB can be a positive thing because it forces our teachers to believe students can achieve. NCLB could be a negative program because it might push students harder than they can work. I will need to be aware of this while teaching because if my school is part of NCLB, I will have to work harder with my students in reading and math.
You do a great job of succinctly stating what you learning, but I'm looking for some deeper connections. How is this impacting your view of teaching and learning? How will you specifically utilize these ideas with your students?
