Three books, and not quite agreement on when to step in. "Taking Action" and "Simplifying Response to Intervention" build the classic Tier 2 model — identify, target, and monitor through scheduled flex time on a roughly three-week cycle. "Acceleration for All" pushes back, embedding "just-in-time" support directly into daily instruction through a tighter ten-day cycle, and drops the word "remediation" entirely. This episode has the hosts work through that disagreement rather than smooth it over. Along the way: why mixing a "can't do" student with a "won't do" student in the same intervention group is like putting gasoline and a match in the same room, why targeting a standard isn't the same as targeting the actual cause of a struggle, and what a small elementary team with one or two extra hands can realistically pull off. Built for teacher-leaders heading into a data meeting who want a sharper answer than "we'll reteach it."
