Looking Closer: RtI & Library Media

RTI Teachers need time to support the success of all students.

  • Kindergarten Launch Program
  • Key RtI committee member
  • Increase the availability for intervention

services ○ Tier 2 - small group (5-7), targeted instruction ○ Tier 3 - intensive group (2-3), specialized direct instruction

  • Comply to RTI district guidelines

In terms of impact on student learning, the influence of RtI instruction is ranked 6th out of 195. (Hattie, 2015)

Library Media Specialists empower students to be:

  • Critical thinkers
  • Enthusiastic readers
  • Skillful researchers

Reshaping our library program will allow more opportunities for projects and creativity.

Research shows that students score an average of 10-20% higher in reading achievement when their school has a strong library media program.
