Friday, November 1, 2019
Happy Friday La Mesa Staff,
It's November 1st! You get an extra hour this weekend to sleep! And hopefully you have some candy left over to enjoy over the weekend!
Thank you for all you do!

RTI
For those of you that would like more information on Response to Intervention, please check out this article from ASCD's publication, Educational Leadership: ASCD The Why Behind RTI
"We educators are directly responsible for crucial, life-saving work. Today, a student who graduates from school with a mastery of essential skills and knowledge has a good chance of successfully competing in the global market place, with numerous opportunities to lead a rewarding adult life. In stark contrast, students who fail in school are at greater risk of poverty, welfare dependency, incarceration, and early death. With such high stakes, educators today are like tightrope walkers without a safety net, responsible for meeting the needs of every student, with little room for error. Fortunately, compelling evidence shows that Response to Intervention (RTI) is our best hope for giving every student the additional time and support needed to learn at high levels (Burns, Appleton, & Stehouwer, 2005)." Educational Leadership, October 2010 Volume 68, Number 2 page 10-16
