Schools today are working harder than ever to help ensure that all children can learn and achieve high standards. Marti Richardson, a recognized leader in professional and curriculum development, delivers an innovative, classroom-tested program with planning tools to customize it for any school or district’s data-based needs.

Designed around a Learn-It-Teach-It cycle, the program combines research-based interventions and immediate classroom practice for teachers. Strategies for preview instead of review instruction move struggling students beyond cycles of repetition, and scaffold learning to help them learn alongside their peers.
