With RtI, how we work as teams will be crucial. These four questions are the questions that PLC(professional learning communities) use that would guide the collaborative efforts.
What do we want students to learn?
This refers to the essential/power standards. What are these standards and what do they look like? Do we all have the same idea of rigor for these standards? Do we agree on rubric scores? What about key concepts?
How will we know if they've learning it?
This refers to having common formative assessments. Once we have clarity about the what, your team would look at where these standards are assessed.
What will we do if they didn't learn it or they already know it?
This is all about the response. Once you know what you are focusing on and where the kids are in relation to that standard, you have to respond. This might be through an intervention time or during classroom instruction...it is important to have a plan of attack for kids who do and don't demonstrate proficiency.
