      For my granddaughters, Megan and Jessica, with the hope that all children have the opportunity to reach their potential. May their enthusiastic pursuit and joy of learning in everything they do, in school and out, be respected and encouraged through appropriate, meaningful opportunities to make sense of and improve their world for themselves and others.

      —Gayle Gregory

      To every college student considering entering the teaching profession, and for every educator willing to keep on dedicating the time, energy, and creativity it takes to be good at our craft. Thank you. These 21st century learners will challenge us to do our very best, and together we can exceed expectations.

      —Martha Kaufeldt

      To my dear friend, trusted colleague, and RTI at Work™ cocreator Dr. Austin Buffum. A chance meeting on an airport shuttle; a thoughtful gift of Barth; a lunch discussion about RTI and PLCs—events that have changed my life!

       Acknowledgments

      Bringing this book from concept to completion was truly a collaborative effort, beginning with the outstanding professionals at Solution Tree. Guided by the leadership of CEO Jeffrey Jones and Solution Tree Press President Douglas M. Rife, Solution Tree has become the premier educational publishing and staff development company in the world. Specifically, we would like to thank Douglas for suggesting a collaborative book that connects response to intervention and powerful core instruction. We also appreciate Sarah Payne-Mills for her superb editing of our manuscript. We hope that this book moves Solution Tree one step closer to achieving its vision of transforming education worldwide.

      We appreciate that Solution Tree leaders know that understanding how the brain learns can help teachers do their jobs more effectively. Books such as the Mind, Brain, and Education anthology in the Leading Edge series translated the work of leading neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists into valuable information for educators.

      We would like to thank Austin Buffum for his influence on the RTI at Work™ elements of this book. The recommendations provided regarding how to successfully interpret and implement a multitiered system of support are based on ideas introduced in our books Pyramid Response to Intervention: RTI, Professional Learning Communities, and How to Respond When Kids Don’t Learn and Simplifying Response to Intervention: Four Essential Guiding Principles.

      Finally, one of the most important themes in this book is that effective teaching is not an individual pursuit; it can only be achieved when educators work collaboratively. To this end, the recommendations we offer to improve core instruction are squarely built on the Professional Learning Communities at Work™ process. We thank our dear friends Richard DuFour, Robert Eaker, and Rebecca DuFour for all their efforts to develop, articulate, and promote this process for the benefit of educators and students around the world.
