- 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.
