RtI / MTSS / PBIS
Meeting all students’ learning needs isn’t a luxury and shouldn’t be prioritized for the select few. Instead, it’s our ethical and moral responsibility to make sure that time, talents and resources are spent in ways that maximize every students’ growth. To that end, a focus on Response to Instruction [RtI] / Multi-Tiered System of Supports [MTSS] is essential to every school’s success. Join me in this work and we’ll create professional learning opportunities that give educators [across all Tiers and levels of education] the skills, strategies and tools they need to create systems and structures to support all learners.
The truth is students come to school each day with individual and collective wants and needs, and it’s our job to harness who and where they are. The RtI / MTSS process doesn’t have to be a machine model approach with an overreliance on short sided skill and drill; it can be a dynamic, flexible, in-the-moment response focused on good instruction. And, since good instruction doesn’t happen in a vacuum, topic option include, but are not limited to:
- Asset-Based Pedagogy
- Response to Instruction / RtIMulti-Tiered System of Supports / MTSS
- Multi-Tiered System of Supports / MTSS
- Workshop Model / Student Engagement Model / Gradual Release Model
- Co-Planning & Co-Teaching [Units of Study, Learning Progressions, Weekly & Daily Plans]
- Small Group Learning Experiences
- Balanced Literacy
- Voluminous Reading, Writing & Talk
- Classroom Design
- Instructional Coaching [teachers, coaches, and administrators]
- Creating Thinking Partnerships to Build Capacity
- Integrated, Inquiry-Driven Approaches to Teaching & Learning
What’s Our Response?
This book will provide dozens of ready-to-use solution-oriented tools to create asset-based systems and structures so that you are better positioned to create an instructional response that will support all students growth
As a long-time teacher, coach and instructional leader, I understand the challenges schools face today in educating our learners. Together, we’ll create a strong foundation of responses to instruction to ensure all students are learning at high levels. Together we’ll tackle some of the most common problems of practice that exist today. Some of those include:
We need to break out of the RtI box.
We need to honor and increase teacher autonomy and agency.
We need child study teams focused on students’ assets.
We need to increase students’ thinking and doing time.
We need good instruction because that makes the best interventions.
Our work will include a commitment to providing intentional and well designed solutions to these 5 predominant, and often universal, challenges. In addition, we’ll work together to identify other key challenges facing your district or school, keeping students at the center of decision-making, so that we can close the gap between what we want students to know and be able to do and where they are now.
Professional Learning Workshops & Institutes
Julie Wright Consulting LLC provides action-oriented, do-it-tomorrow professional learning experiences, coaching, and resources for administrators, coaches, teachers and specialists. Through partnership, we’ll create intentionally designed curricula, instructional designs and assessments that are efficient, effective, and equitable to meet learners’ individual and collective needs. We’ll develop teachers, coaches, and leaders who have confidence in asset-based, enduring practices focused on creating systems and structures to support growth for all learners.
Half-day, full-day or multi-day support options are possible so that we can tailor the experiences to meet the needs of the district, school, or cohort. In-person, virtual or hybrid options are available.
Learning Lab & Coaching Lab Studios
Proximity matters! The closer we can get to the work in a classroom or coaching session, the better chance we have to catch all of the good of the learning community. Learning Lab and Coaching Lab Studios provide participants with a front-row seat to learning.
Study Groups
Organized by grade level, grade level bands, departments, interests, topics or needs, groups come together to read, write, discuss, question, create, and problem-solve. This option is structured so that participants build background knowledge and then make plans for ready-to-use, action-oriented next steps that can be implemented immediately.
