Not only does it offer effective, easy-to-use strategies to implement Tier 2 interventions and support, but it also includes examples of these practices at the school level. As a professional development leader, I especially liked the Big Ideas and Key Considerations Rubric at the end of each chapter. Using these tools with teams has been instrumental in our school moving our RTI implementation from teacher-centered to student-centered. I wholeheartedly endorse this book!" --Ginny Nobis, instructional coach, South Mesa Elementary, Utah "With the increase in virtual learning, never have high-functioning professional learning communities and well-planned, data-driven interventions been more critical.
