Blended Learning & RtI
We can, whenever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do that. Whether or not we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we haven’t so far.
--Ron Edmonds, 1982 in DeFour et al., 2004
