Getting to the CORE

My school division is a Virginia pilot for Response to Intervention.  Each school has an RtI team which functions as a steering committee, data analysis team, and cheerleader for the project.  I am fortunate to be a member of a great group of professional educators, who bring their many perspectives and talents to the table.  Yesterday we met to quickly review the Universal Screening data from the winter administration and to define "core" instruction.  This is more difficult than it seems.  "Core" instruction can mean something different to each teacher.  A guiding principle of RtI is to have a strong core of instruction so that at least 80% of the students are meeting curricular benchmarks without direct intervention.  That DOES NOT mean that the teacher does not differentiate instruction in the classroom!  The chair had polled all of the teachers to get their "core" definition and we charted their responses.  Collaboratively we defined core instruction.  So, using my newly acquired skills with Sliderocket, I created a presentation...
