Perhaps most importantly in today's information age, thinking skills are viewed as crucial for educated persons to cope with a rapidly changing world. Many educators believe that specific knowledge will not be as important to tomorrow's workers and citizens as the ability to learn and make sense of new information. —D. Gough, 1991 With that being said, it is critical for students to learn strategies to employ when thinking through a scenario, a problem, a situation, a research project, etc. This set of mini-posters can be used as a year long resource in any classroom to equip students with eight strategies that students should learn to use each and every day as they strive to be successful in school.

This resource is a must have for giving a solid description of the three tiers of instruction. It is full of infographics that aid in the explanation for a refresher session on each tier. The training slides progress from the programs, methodologies, and strategies that we specifically use at tier one to ensure high quality instruction to the intensiveness of tier III and the possibility of progressing to a child-study through the MET team. Next, an in-depth look is given to tier two and specific strategies that help to intervene in specific deficits. Then, a look at tier III is investigated and discussed. This training is meant to take the participant through each tier looking at strategies, decision-making skills, and timelines for best practice. This training can be used in a focused faculty meeting, a professional development session, or in a smaller professional learning community as a specific focus group strengthens their process in Response to Intervention!
