10/24/09 Top Notch Teachers....
The idea of implanting good teachers in a building and hoping that their knowledge, attitude, and experience will rub off is a wonderful idea. Our RtI team was very keyed up about this new initiative and wanted everyone “on board”. I’d like to think that our enthusiasm helped build excitement. We were trained in every aspect of the RtI process and we disseminated the information to the rest of the school. Teachers would ask questions and want more ideas to use within their classroom after the team would come back from seminars. I think there would be many variables that would affect this type of research though. It would be nice to see another similar study completed just for comparison.

I have witnessed the spillover effect at our K-1 grade site. There are a few exceptional teachers who have become resident experts in RTI. These teachers are really getting others onboard, and almost everyone is being more productive in order to keep up. It is interesting to watch. I definitely think that top notch teachers can effect their peers, as there is a certain level of competitiveness that exists among teachers.
