Response to Intervention: A Practical Guide for Every Teacher
"Of the many RTI materials published today, this one is user-friendly and much broader in scope. Written in clear and understandable yet professional language, this excellent book is appropriate for all K–12 educators and administrators."
-Carla Osberg, Program Specialist, Special Populations
Nebraska Department of Education "Offers a unique organization of key concepts, and addresses current implementation issues with integrity. The strategies, suggestions, and tips contribute to the overall reader-friendliness of the book. The comparison/contrast of the problem-solving and standard treatment protocol approaches is well written and provides the reader information to determine the best approach for the students, school, or district."
-Linda Palenchar, Coordinator, Office of Special Education
West Virginia Department of Education Discover a resource that shows teachers how to implement RTI in the classroom! As a result of NCLB legislation and the reauthorization of IDEA 2004, Response to Intervention (RTI) is now a mandated process for documenting the existence or nonexistence of a learning disability. For educators new to the RTI approach, Response to Intervention presents an overview of key concepts with guidelines for accountability practices that benefit students in inclusive classrooms. Presenting the three tiers of RTI techniques, the authors demonstrate how general and special education teachers can use research-based interventions effectively to individualize instruction, monitor individual student progress, and implement strategies to meet the specific needs of all students. Response to Intervention assists educators with the basic and necessary steps to provide students with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), and includes: - Vignettes, examples, and forms based on the problem-solving and standards-based approaches to RTI
- A chapter illustrating how RTI techniques benefit students who are economically underprivileged and/or culturally and linguistically diverse
- A chapter devoted to Frequently Asked Questions
Featuring helpful charts and reproducibles, this timely resource is sure to become a valuable guide as educators implement programs to document how individual students respond to specific educational interventions.

The Energy of Belief: Psychology's Power Tools to Focus Intention and Release Blocking Beliefs
Change is hard. Beliefs, thoughts and behaviors often continue as if they have a life of their own, and trying and talking--despite the best intentions--often don't seem to help. Many people spend years in psychotherapy without making a dent in their issues, but now a growing body of doctors, nurses, psychologists, and social workers are discovering that there are remarkable new techniques that, by correcting the flow of electromagnetic energy in the body with simple touching and breathing exercises, actually resolve longstanding psychological issues. The authors of The Energy of Belief, Sheila Sidney Bender, a psychologist, and Mary T. Sise, a clinical social worker, wanted to help their patients take back control of their lives from unwanted beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions. They call their breakthrough method energy-TAB, or "touch and breathe." In this self-help book, Bender and Sise describe their method and lay out a series of simple exercises that allow people in distress to quickly feel major physical and psychological shifts. Their book is packed with real-life examples of clients who were not helped by other forms of therapy, but who used energy-TAB to free themselves of fears, addictions, and runaway emotions. Additionally, the book includes solid science, a step-by-step method for replacing any negative belief with a positive one, simple strategies for performance enhancement, dozens of illustrations, real-life case histories, and easy-to-follow instructions for using this exciting new method..

Everyday Sacred: A Woman's Journey Home
Her struggle is one keenly felt in today's intensely pressured and time-starved world: how can we experience our lives fully in whatever we are doing at the moment—whether cleaning the kitchen, faced with a situation that frustrates us, or momentarily exhilarated by some new fortune that's befallen us. Inspired by the image of the empty ‘begging bowl' that Zen monks would start each day with to solicit enough food to nourish and sustain them, Bender discovers for herself—and shows us in the process—how to find that which is ‘just enough' to fill our lives each day. The lessons along Bender's path of ‘doubt and hope' reveal that each step is a place to learn and that ‘we can seek the sacred everywhere—in our homes, in our daily activities, and hardest to see, in ourselves'. .
