Читать книгу RTI at Work™ Plan Book - Austin Buffum - Страница 4

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We are so grateful for our collaboration with Jeffrey Jones, Douglas Rife, and the exceptional professionals at Solution Tree. We know this collaboration has been so successful because we share a common vision—to transform education worldwide to ensure learning for all! The press team has edited and improved every sentence of all our books, and the professional development and events teams have made this content available through RTI at Work™ institutes, workshops, and onsite support. We would specifically like to thank Todd Brakke for his outstanding contributions to this plan book—he is most directly responsible for moving this project from concept to completion.

We call our intervention recommendations RTI at Work because they are built on the Professional Learning Community at Work® (PLC at Work) process. We believe that it is impossible to develop an effective system of interventions unless it builds on the guiding principles of the PLC at Work process—with a learning-focused culture, collaborative structures, and a results orientation. The original authors and leaders of this process—Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour, and Robert Eaker—have generously shared their knowledge, expertise, and friendship. In fact, Solution Tree’s first plan book—the PLC at Work Plan Book (DuFour, DuFour, & Eaker, 2006)—was Becky’s idea, and this resource is modeled after it. We hope that our work leads others to the power of the PLC at Work process and honors the lives of our mentors, Rick and Becky.
