This month in Little Silver we continue to explore and fine tune our RtI model of instruction. We are learning more about the need for measurable goals and monitor student progress. Never before has there been more need for differentiated teaching. Our focus has been to work on providing intervention and targeted instruction for students. We've spent time reading professional resources, such as Strategies that Work by Jennifer Serravallo. This week ASCD published Four Teaching Moves That Promote A Growth Mindset In All Readers . The strategies described through text and video share a new mindset for teachers that is worthy of reading. The Four M Strategies describe how teachers need to be Miners, Mirrors, Models, and Mentors.
