Summary:"Finally, one resource that weaves professional learning communities (PLCs), differentiated instruction (DI), and Response to Intervention (RTI) into a comprehensive framework for achieving school improvement"-- Provided by publisher.
"Judy Stoehr, Maria Banks, and Linda Allen's Weaving the Tapestry: Implementing and Sustaining Differentiation, Response to Intervention and Professional Learning Communities is a practical guide for educational leaders and teachers who are interested in understanding how professional learning communities, response to intervention, and differentiated instruction can all be effectively used together in a systematic, school-wide way. With practical classroom strategies and implementation and integration tools, Stoehr, Banks, and Allen specifically demonstrate how professional learning communities can be the umbrella under which response to intervention and differentiated instruction can function and play off of each other. The authors go on to explain how this approach of using PLCs as the framework for sharing new strategies and understandings, discussing data collected through assessments, and evaluating data against benchmarks will give teachers a stronger support system in making their instructional decisions and ultimately increasing student achievement"-- Provided by publisher.
Description
Summary:

"Combining PLCs, DI AND RTI into a tapestry for school change is a brilliant idea. It weaves three predominant threads together into wholeness for teachers and students. The PLC thread provides the collegial support for substantive change to occur; the Response to Intervention thread exposes a structure that ensures student success; and the Differentiated Instruction thread highlights appropriate responses to learners′ talents and needs."

--Robin Fogarty, PresidentRobin Fogarty & Associates

A framework for weaving common threads into an artful solution

Rather than buying individual books about professional learning communities (PLCs), differentiated instruction (DI), and Response to Intervention (RTI), invest wisely in one resource that synthesizes all three. The text uses a tapestry analogy to weave together these critical topics to form a comprehensive framework for achieving continuous school improvement. The result is a stronger foundation for administrators′ leadership direction and teachers′ instructional decisions based on:

Utilizing PLCs as the framework for sharing new strategies and understandings Discussing data collected through assessments Evaluating data against benchmarks

Included are walk-through checklists, learning-style surveys, and examples that illustrate practical strategies for integrating DI and RTI and collaborating with colleagues to assess student learning and adapt instruction and interventions. This timely resource efficiently provides all the information you need to optimize instruction for outstanding results.
