This resource provides proven-effective strategies, tools, and ideas that can be adapted and modified for any grade level and content area.

• A demonstration DVD showing the book’s strategies in action in real classrooms.
• Classroom strategies that align with CCSS and Response to Intervention (RTI).
• Guidance to help teachers use grouping configurations to build classroom community and maximize student assets.
