Congratulations to our Wilson Teacher of the Year, Ms. Heidi!!!!

RtI Next Steps...
1. If you will be discussing moving a learner from Tier 1 to Tier 2 or Tier 2 to Tier 3, please contact Renee, Christina, Jennifer or Mary to do a fidelity check in your room during your intervention time. Please make contact by Friday, January 8th.
2. As you are intervening with your learners, please keep notes and data of their progress.
3. The notes and data you have on each of your learners needs to be uploaded in to Euphoria PRIOR to the January RtI meeting (pg. 2 of the existing form). The teams who had this done had a much more efficient meeting and the educators were able to talk about their learners' progress succinctly.
4. Please make sure your Tier 2 and 3 learners who are being pulled for intervention are ALSO receiving intervention from you. The double dip is what will help close the gaps.
