RTI Pictures from Kitchener Community School
The following pictures were taken at Kitchener Community School in their Response to Intervention Model Classroom. They have extended the ideas from this room into all classrooms in their school. A big thanks to Brenda Witthan-Neary from the SK Ministry of Education for sharing this room and information with us.
We must remember that many students are visual and kinesthetic learners.  We need to clear the clutter and only have visuals available that support the task at hand.  For example, the circle time board posted below that can be put away after circle time.  We must also ensure we provide opportunities for movement for those who need to ‘move to learn’….see the alternate seating options in the pictures below:
