Grounded in the best current knowledge, this book shows how to implement response to intervention (RTI) in middle and high school contexts. Detailed guidelines are presented for teaching reading comprehension, vocabulary, and other aspects of literacy across the content areas, and for providing effective interventions for students who require additional support. The authors describe RTI procedures that are specifically tailored to the needs of struggling adolescent learners and that take into account the challenges and logistics of secondary-level implementation. The volume features 26 reproducible tools for planning, assessment, progress monitoring, and multi-tiered instruction; the large-size format facilitates photocopying.

Focusing on what research tells us about how children learn, this guide can serve as the core of language arts instruction with all students, including individuals with mild to moderate disabilities. It offers an adaptable framework and practical tips for integrating Common Core State Standards (CCSS) into local Response to Intervention (RTI) systems.

While there are many books that address focus groups, most are directed at business and marketing. This book differs by demonstrating the specific steps necessary to conduct focus groups in educational and psychological settings.Using numerous examples, the authors show how to prepare for a focus group, create a moderator''s guide, select a setting and analyze results. In addition, there is a chapter on focus groups with children and adolescents. Each chapter contains procedural tables as well as applications for performing `trial runs'' of the techniques discussed.
