Re: What are you using in your classroom for RTI?

I wonder if spartanmom's question was really something more
like "What kind of documentation are you using to record your RtI
efforts?"
In my district, preschoolers are placed on IEPs. Either we fix
them by the time they reach kindergarten or they continue with a
kindergarten IEP. We also have "typically developing children"
enrolled, and as we all know, they aren't always as typical as is
assumed. We are not officially a part of our district's RtI
process, so I could document all day and it wouldn't matter. My
district's RtI process from preschool to k is this: I lean over
and tell the K teacher that I worked and worked with Billy Bob
and he still struggles. She may want to begin with him for RtI.
And she does, and the magic of RtI offically begins. Yes, it's
frustrating. Hopefully your districts do a better job; my
district's curriculum coordinator thinks of our preschool
programming as nothing more than high paid babysitting even
though we've had preschool sp ed services for more than 20 years.
