RTI for Diverse Learners : More Than 200 Instructional Interventions

Many Response to Intervention (RTI) models were developed to identify specific learning disabilities in English-speaking students. When using RTI with culturally and linguistically diverse students, especially non-native English speakers and those with limited English proficiency, educators must look beyond students' academic performance in reading and mathematics to address complex learning and behavior issues.

This research-based resource provides more than 200 instructional interventions for teaching the growing population of students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds within an RTI framework. Organized by the tiers of RTI, these specific interventions help classroom teachers address students' cognitive, behavior, literacy, and communication issues at each level. This book features:

-A reader-friendly format that allows busy teachers to easily find the interventions they need

-Straightforward, concrete directions for using each intervention

-Examples from practice and a glossary to aid implementation

RTI for Diverse Learners offers step-by-step guidance for distinguishing between language development and special education needs in diverse students and providing appropriate instruction.

"No one is left out! This all-inclusive volume builds on Catherine Collier's extensive work over many years and provides the one handbook teachers in the field have for years been wishing someone would write. Teachers can follow the carefully structured diagnosis and intervention plan with confidence and know their learners will be set on a learning path that will provide them with optimal support." -Sylvia Helmer, Adjunct Professor of Language and Literacy Education

"A user-friendly and highly practical book full of research-based intervention strategies for teachers who are implementing RTI programs for second-language learners and other culturally diverse students." -Leonard Baca, Professor
