An RTI Guide to Improving Performance of African-American Students: What Every Teacher Should Know About Culture and Academic Engagement

An RtI Guide is all about improving academic performance of African-American students. This book examines response-to-intervention (RtI) in the context of culturally relevant instruction and sheds light on the steps educators must take to create effective RtI and problem-solving models that meet the cultural needs of African-American students. Although educational initiatives speak clearly of the need to integrate instruction and cultural activities, most educators do not know where to start with such practice. The reason is clear: Many educators are unfamiliar with the cultural needs of students of color in general and the cultural needs of African-American students in particular.This book is the first on the market that integrates RtI and African-American culture.
