Miss Wiebenga's Classroom

What is RtI? - 

This is such a great question and I frequently am asked what this position is/does/and means. 

​

Here is how I like to look at it.

​

RtI - or Response To Intervention

is simply just a support. A helping hand to aid students through a stress free education.

​

Whether it be a support in reading, writing, spelling, or math - we will make sure each student is given the support they need.

​

We are simply supporting students and giving them the "boost" they may need to be successful.

​

When put that way, it's not so scary right?

​

At Erie Elementary, we have three, certified and trained response to intervention teachers. Among the degrees is a reading specialist, plenty of reading endorsements, general education degrees, and a special education degree. 

​

This being said - we take RTI seriously!

​

Lessons can be anywhere from 15 minutes, to 30 minutes. Six students in the group, or simply just one student in the group.

​

We are simply here as a support and each and everyone of our goals is to ensure the success of the student!
