"In Best Practices at Tier 3: Intensive Interventions for Remediation, Secondary, authors Paula Rogers, W. Richard Smith, Austin Buffum, and Mike Mattos provide grades 6-12 educators research-based response to intervention (RTI) at Work strategies to meet the needs of students who have fallen the furthest behind in the classroom. These students struggle with what is being taught currently in the classroom as well as the basic, foundational skills that are taught in previous school years. The best way educators can intervene when students struggle is by implementing an effective RTI at Work process through a supportive professional learning community (PLC) framework. This guide will help educators learn how to improve their school's Tier 3 intensive interventions so students receive the support they need to learn at the highest levels"--

This paper provides new estimates of the housing stock, construction rates and price developments by city tier in China in order to understand where imbalances might be concentrated, and the implications of any significant contraction. We also update estimates of the size of China’s rapidly evolving real estate sector through 2021, allowing one to look at the initial impact of COVID-19, as well as extending the analysis to incorporate urban-expansion related infrastructure construction. We argue that China overall faces imbalances between supply and demand for housing stock, but the problem is significantly deeper outside tier 1 cities.

Response to intervention (RTI) is the most effective process for ensuring student success, using differentiated instruction to provide the time and support necessary. This comprehensive implementation guide covers every element required to build a successful RTI at WorkTM program in schools. The authors share step-by-step actions for implementing the essential elements, instructional strategies, and tools needed to support implementation, as well as tips for engaging and supporting educators. Readers who valued the practical knowledge in Learning by Doing: A Handbook for Professional Learning Communities at WorkTM (DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, Many, and Mattos) will appreciate a similar style and practicality in Taking Action. This guide will help you incorporate the response to intervention process by allowing you to: Understand how RTI at WorkTM builds on the PLC at WorkTM process. Review the revised RTI at WorkTM pyramid and its three RTI tiers. Learn what roles teacher teams, leadership teams, and schoolwide teams play in a multi-tiered intervention structure. Understand the differences among intervention, extension, prevention, and enrichment. Avoid common missteps when implementing RTI (or MTSS). Consider why an achievement gap remains in 21st century education and how the RTI process can close that gap.
