Planning Interventions and Extensions in Elementary School
“The editors and authors of It’s About Time: Planning Interventions and Extensions in Elementary School make the compelling case that a school with a mission to help all students learn must recognize that when students struggle, they are entitled to extra time and support. . . . No one has provided greater clarity on the critical conditions for effective intervention and extension than the editors of this book, Austin Buffum and Mike Mattos.” —from the foreword by Rebecca DuFour and Richard DuFour
“For schools that are not sure how to get started or want to refine their response to intervention process, this book and its many suggestions and examples provide a great framework and road map toward perfecting that process and helping students succeed.”
