3. Do You Believe All Students Can Learn?
During the last year, how has your perception of this belief changed?
What have you done during the last year to reflect this belief? 3

4. Research- “All Students Can Learn”
An analysis of research conducted over a thirty-five year period demonstrates that schools that are highly effective produce results that almost entirely overcome the effects of student backgrounds.

10. Four Critical Questions of Learning
What is it we expect all students to learn?
How will we know if they’ve learned it?
How will we respond when some students don’t learn it?
How will we respond when they already know?
The Critical Questions of Teaching and Learning are the heart of what we do and ties RtII, PLC’s and Differentiation together. 10

MTI- designing learning opportunities (in response to data) to meet the needs of all students when they need it.
RTI- process for determining whether or not a student is eligible for special education as learning disabled.
Can you do MTI without RTI? Or RTI without MTI? 11

What is an intervention? 12

13. Organization of Meetings
