Table of Contents from the book (in .pdf form) Sample pages from the book (in .pdf form) Sample pages from the book (in .pdf form) I cannot tell you how much I appreciated your presentation and the materials in the book. For the past week, I have been using several of your checklists with about 30 of my students. I have been trying for years to help my struggling students, but it wasn’t until I attended your seminar that I finally found a way to easily implement differentiation not only from my level, but also from the teaching level. I already have teachers asking about what I am doing when I meet with both the student and the parent... For the first time, many of these students are leaving a conference with me with hope in their eyes, because for the first time I have been able to more concisely document where their weaknesses lay, and can begin working on solutions. This whole framework of yours saves so much time by allowing me to focus specifically rather than generally on ways of improving their performance in the classroom. --Gordon D., Junior High Principal, Loma Linda, CA   RTI Workshops from Carolyn Coil RTI and Differentiated Instruction: How They Work Together What should teachers do to meet the needs of all students from those who struggle academically or behaviorally to our gifted and talented students? How do we know when interventions are working and when they are not? The RTI approach uses research-based interventions and monitors each student’s progress toward success. Differentiation is a way to design curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of each student. These two concepts are a natural pairing in helping teachers meet individual student needs. In this workshop, learn how to implement a number of practical differentiation strategies. Find ways to accommodate different learning styles and modalities. Understand how to use pre-assessments to determine individual student strengths and weaknesses and formative assessments to assess and monitor the effect of each strategy on individual students. You will learn how to use the Coil RTI Progress Monitoring Form™ and will leave this workshop with many strategies and interventions you can use immediately.   Motivating All Students: Strategies to Use with the RTI Approach What strategies and interventions can regular classroom teachers use to help students be successful in school? Some students need interventions to deal with specific academic skill deficits. Others need help with motivation, organizational skills, study skills or appropriate classroom behavior. Gifted students as well as struggling students may need help in becoming motivated for success in school. In this interactive workshop, explore numerous achievement strategies and interventions. Learn how to identify student needs through the use of pre-assessment and formative assessment. Find out how to successfully implement many interventions and strategies. See how to monitor student progress using various versions of the Coil RTI Progress Monitoring Form™ - a graphic organizer that helps show problem areas for an individual student, the interventions tried, and ways to measure student progress. You will leave this workshop with many tools to help your students succeed in school! What People Say About Carolyn's Workshops Great practical ideas!
