"Burton and Kappenberg provide a rare common-sense approach to de-mystifying and getting a realistic grip on critical topics in today’s classrooms. Their straightforward explanations provide the specific support and balanced approach so many teachers, and parents, are looking for in this new age of national Common Core Standards for Mathematics. With students always the main focus of their work, teachers and parents are supported with proven strategies for school success and sanity."
"Burton and Kappenberg have done a great service to teachers by combining Common Core and RTI into one easy-to-use text."
“As our nation’s schools move towards more accountability, stakes are high for our K-12 students. For the first time, this book brings together three important complex educational issues and initiatives in U.S. public schools: low-performance of American students on assessments in mathematics, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Response to Intervention (RTI). Mathematics teachers are calling for effective strategies to combine CCSS and RTI as a single, unified program that they can use in their classrooms to support students’ achievement in mathematics.
" Imagine a resource that integrates the complexity of today's leading-edge national, state, and professional initiatives to improve K-12 mathematics instruction into a comprehensive unified crosswalk. This is what Burton and Kappenberg accomplish in Mathematics, the Common Core, and RTI.
"This is a great guide for all educators at every level of their career. The strategies and explicit instruction can be used in the classroom tomorrow. I am already processing how RTI and the Common Core State Standards intertwine and reflecting on the implications for my teaching and for the successful learning by my students.
It is too specific. RTI is only one of many topics included in this course.
