The Differentiated Instruction and Response to Intervention Connection
The Differentiated Instruction and Response to Intervention Connection
Today’s teachers are using two powerful approaches—Differentiated Instruction (DI) and Response to Intervention (RTI)—to help every child succeed academically. In this course, you’ll learn how to put this “dynamic duo” to work in your own classroom teaching and lesson plans.
You will explore different learning styles and delving into a concept called multiple intelligences. You will examine the factors that motivate students to learn in a child-centered classroom. You will master the basics of both DI and RTI and learn how these two approaches work hand-in-hand to enhance children’s learning. You will discover how to perform different types of assessments, monitor your students’ progress, select research-based teaching materials, address learners’ diverse needs, and move students up or down the RTI tiers so they’re getting just the right help they need. Finally, you’ll learn how to get parents involved as active partners in the education process. You’ll come away armed with powerful and easy-to-implement strategies that will benefit every student you teach!
