My greatest challenge in implementing my action research plan will be in getting classroom teachers to consistently implement tier 2 reading group instruction on a daily basis in their class. There will be consistency with reading intervention teachers, and I will be in charge of tier 3 instruction, but when teachers are stressed to get their entire language arts program into a 120 minute block, I have found that they will often times do away with the intervention instruction.
I hope to work with administration to address this challenge, not just because it affects my action research plan, but also because RtI must be implemented to meet the needs of our students.
Do your teachers have to do their interventions during that 120 minute block of time? On my campus, teachers are allowed to pull intervention groups at any point in the day when they have free time. Maybe one of your teachers could take an intervention group during lunch while the other teachers from that grade level are monitoring recess or lunch. I agree with you completely on the importance of daily consistency in to the success of RTI interventions.
