Conference speaker Doug Fisher shares moving responsibility from teacher to student through differentiated instruction,

collaborative learning, and independent practice.

Pick up any education journal, scan any conference program, even eavesdrop on a conversation between educators and

you’re likely to see or hear RTI mentioned. But how can RTI help students and schools improve? We have

focused on how students respond to instruction and intervention such that resources are aligned with student

success. This requires that we examine quality core instruction (tier 1), supplemental interventions through the

strategic use of questions, prompts, and cues (tier 2), and intensive interventions that build student confidence and

competence (tier 3). In this session, we will: •Identify components of quality core

instruction •Define guided instruction, including

robust questions, prompts, and cues •Analyze teaching videos to determine

needed interventions •Explore a feed-forward model for taking

action on formative assessments
