Solution-focused RTI: a positive and personalized approach to response-to-intervention

Solution-Focused RTI provides an alternative approach to Response-to-Intervention using a solution-focused method. In Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, individuals begin their own change process by identifying exceptions to a problemthat is, noticing when a problem does not occur, or when things go better than normalrather than focusing on the problem or what caused it. Solution-focused RTI helps educators to identify exceptions to students learning problems and design personalized interventions that can help those students succeed. This new, collaborative approach between teachers, students, and parents will replace the tried-yet-unproven strategies that many teachers are now using, and give educators and struggling learners a greater chance of school success. In this book Linda Metcalf provides educators with the basic building blocks of the solution-focused approach and offers step-by-step guidelines for identifying exceptions, designing interventions, and implementing a three-tier Response-to-Intervention process. Complete with reproducible forms for teachers and students and conversational strategies that work, this extremely practical book will help pinpoint intervention strategies that work for students and reduce unnecessary special education referrals.
