Solution Tree’s Post

Ms Brittney McGraw is a hard core equity dawg and RTI savage! I have the pleasure of working with the Star City School District in Arkansas this summer. It’s a one day RTI at Work PD that is being offered on three different dates for any teacher in the district who chooses to attend (not mandatory). On June 28, Brittney was present and was excited as we worked to apply RTI to CTE singleton courses. Imagine my surprise when I walked in the library today for the second group PD (a repeat of my June 28 session for a different group) and saw Brittney front and center with a bunch of binders. I reminded her that this was the same information that she had already seen and she just smiled and said, “Oh I know. I just brought all my stuff so I can fine tune and identify essential standards based on the REAL process. After you left last time I got to thinking about the “A” part and realized that on the end of year assessments for CTE all of my students struggle on math portions. I knew our Algebra teacher was gonna be here today so I brought all of the math standards connected with my course and I’m gonna make a mess over here in the corner and sort out these math components while you are in the room.” Brittney just made a mess at the table and got BUSY! For 6 hours I checked on her, worked with her when other participants were engaged in discourse, and she knocked this stuff out!!! Look at this mess! To my Solution Tree family, and all of my educator friends, this is one of the true RTI DAWGS!!! There are some REAL ones out there doing this work on the front lines while everyone else is sleeping in this summer. Brittney McGraw everyone!!! #PLC #SolutionTree #knowledgeBorn #RTIAW #ForwardFunded #PrioritySchools #CultureRevolution #LearningIsRequired #HustleAndWin #CultureDrivesChange #StartWithTheCrown
